UP-PART is a footwear concept addressing ecological concerns over the mass production of sneakers.
With the current sneaker trend, ever more low quality, cheap shoes are sold. Weak points in their designs lead to a lifespan that hardly exceeds a year when worn on a regular basis.
UP-PART shoes provide sole and upper separately. Either can be replaced when damaged, hence limiting waste.
Since every part are detachable by the user, they are also easier to recycle.

Soufl’O is a hairdryer designed for children use.
Conventional hairdryers are not suited for children. Parts such as electricity plugs and suction gates can be dangerous to novice hands.
Without a handle, the round body of Soufl’O is designed for children hands. Considering their arms strength and proportions, it provides them with a better ergonomy.
A fine mesh covers the ventilation gate to avoid hair suction.
Charging on its dock, children do not have any interaction with the power cable.
A few sketches from the process.
The base illuminates as a reminder to recharge the hairdryer.
Ergonomy test and user feedback of first mock up with a 7 years old.
Using less power, Soufl’O would provide only a low blow to protect children’s fragile skin and hair.
