RESEarch & Development
« Since a very young age, I’ve been fascinated by the mechanics of movement, whether it’s in the flow of water, the flight of insects, the walk of a cat, etc. My path, both self-taught and academic in mechanical physics, has enabled me to explore this passion in depth.
Inspired by nature – the best engineer that has ever existed, perfecting its mechanics for millions of years – I study its secrets to imagine creations where art and robotics meet.
My aim is to explore the extent to which new technologies can enrich our vision of beauty and functionality. »
« In static design, form follows function;
in kinetic design, movement dictates form, radically transforming the approach to design. »
1. The idea
It all starts with meticulous observation of Nature, an inexhaustible source of inspiration and the mother of life. We study the anatomy, movements and adaptations of living organisms to extract their fundamental principles. This biomimetic approach feeds our initial reflections, where wonderment meets the rigour of scientific analysis.
2. The Mechanisation
As soon as the idea has been formalised, we move on to the mechanical decomposition of the intended movement: force analysis, stress assessment and development of a mechatronic concept. At this stage, each articulation and each pivot are seen as extensions of the initial function, like an organism that adapts its limbs to its environment. An ongoing dialogue between constraint and imagination.
3. The emerging shape
Armed with these initial calculations, we began designing the shape. Guided by the idea that movement dictates form, we combined ergonomic studies with aesthetic principles. Gradually, the emerging silhouette reflects the symbiosis between mechanical precision and the grace of a biological structure, inspired by natural evolution that combines elegance and efficiency.
4. The creative alliance
This is where the essence of our approach is revealed: conciliating the efficiency of advanced engineering with formal elegance. Prototype after prototype, we test different materials, from cutting-edge technology to traditional craftsmanship. The aim is to achieve a perfect balance in which each step demands the excellence of both disciplines: the robustness of a precision mechanism and the poetry of an object that seems almost alive.
5. A Technical rigour at the service of creativity
Here, the next phase is already being prepared, because perfection thrives on anticipation. While the idea matures, we ensure that technical rigour supports creative freedom.
Reliability, durability and maintainability are assessed at every stage, to ensure that the artistic vision remains underpinned by a solid technological foundation.
6. The electronic brain
At this stage, the whole thing comes to life through the design of an electronic board and the development of specific code. The software architecture, designed to support multiple future versions, is combined with a fluid user experience. Like a nervous system, it coordinates and regulates each element to give shape to the imagined movement.
