Renaud Defrancesco, a designer from Lausanne, focuses on experimentation in design, as exemplified by the molded plywood leg splint of Charles and Ray Eames. Defrancesco earned a degree in industrial design and shifted to a professional approach after his first commission of door handles. In 2018, he founded his firm, emphasizing collaboration with artisans and environmentally conscious designs. Each project is an opportunity to balance tradition with modern technology. He enjoys the entire design process, particularly the moment when a designed object becomes part of daily life for someone.
"It represents a key moment in their exploration of material innovation and form. By bending and layering plywood, they managed to give it both strength and curvature, turning it into something functional and elegant."
"Each project offers different experiences for Defrancesco, who credits a team of creative minds with helping him bring his ideas to life, and embracing trial and error."
