USM x HEAD – A breathing grid

The iconic Swiss furniture brand USM invited the Interior Architecture Department of HEAD – Genève to design its entire stand for the Designers' Saturday event, which took place on 5 and 6 November 2016 in Langenthal. To this end, students worked with only two modular elements, the essence of USM furniture: spheres and pipes. Students designed a "living" grid, candlesticks and a table with vases, to reinterpret the USM brand in a playful and organic way.

Workshop direction: Gaspar Reverdin, assisted by Cohann Rémy (Alumnis HEAD)
