Edouard Boissinot

Biography

Handling tools, whatever they may be, has always been a source of endless pleasure and motivation for me. Whether it’s building, drawing, driving, dismantling, or repairing, all these actions require tools, each more varied than the last. Through my discoveries and learning experiences, I realized that the designer’s expertise offers a multitude of tools to work with, all aimed at one ultimate goal: creating something new, something better.

This is how I discovered applied art before diving into the design of volumes and objects. The automobile quickly became the object of my desires—or so I thought until I realized that my true passion lay in imagining new modes of mobility and telling modern stories of movement.

In 2023, the creation of my company gave me a new opportunity to expand my toolkit and continually explore new scenarios and mediums to tell these stories. Why limit oneself when there is so much to discover? This new status also allows me to approach a field that I am deeply passionate about: pedagogy. This adventure offers me the chance to align my aspirations by making myself available to schools, where I can share and pass on my passion.

Vision

My design vision can be summed up in two words: efficiency and simplicity. Through my various projects, I aim to address a specific need as effectively as possible, without trying to solve more than necessary. The “Swiss Army knife” effect is my perpetual challenge. Returning to simple objects is often more effective than complex multifunctional solutions. To stay relevant in our current era, the efficiency of our designs is crucial for both economic and ecological reasons. The quest for the perfect object - one that is used to its fullest potential - is my primary motivation. I also wish to move away from screens to restore meaning to the gestures and moments of our everyday lives.
