Otto was designed as part of the Banc d’essai exhibition for the International Design Biennale 2025 .
It is designed to showcase the expertise of the company, particularly in the tube bending.
As part of the biennial, I chose to work with a single material and attempted to reduce the number of tools used in its manufacture in order to consistently address the theme of the 2025 International Design Biennial, and thus contemporary environmental issues. The discussions with Maurice Chastagnier from Cintrafil made ipossible to limit the number of cuts and welds, favoring a less expensive and less energy-intensive approach.
