Christophe GUERIN, designer PhD.

Hello, my name is Christophe and I am a designer, researcher and entrepreneur.

I have a PhD in design, focusing on the implementability of design in a finite world. In other words, how the act of design can create and enable agents for a habitable world. The issues of ecology, sustainable development and eco-design are central concepts in my work.

• I am very interested in materials, processes and the question of circularity, with the aim of creating positive feedback loops. I have worked in many fields, including industrial design, interior design and art. Here I present a non-exhaustive and eclectic list of projects. Not all projects carry the same weight, but they are part of a whole that ultimately characterises my practice in a certain way. I cultivate multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary work whenever possible, because it is at the crossroads of practices and knowledge that meaningful projects are born.

• I am a graduate of PSL University (SACRe, Sciences Arts Création Recherche, ED540), the École des Arts Décoratifs (Paris), the École Boulle (Paris), the University of Sheffield (UK), the École Supérieure de Design de Villefontaine, and the Lycée Carnot (Dijon). I therefore have degrees in spatial/interior design, object design, furniture and product design, architectural and product design modelling, as well as a PhD in design practice. I have also founded two start-ups in the eyewear industry. These experiences have allowed me to develop skills and sensibilities that feed into my projects.

I am curious and enjoy seeking solutions for a more sustainable world, where design could help us last in harmony with our environment.
