Program Details:
"ECAL Luxury & Design" is an exhibition produced recently by rising young designers from ECAL/Ecole Cantonale d’Art Lausanne, in collaboration with world famous companies such as Audemars Piguet, Hublot, Nespresso, Swarovski and Christofle. ECAL, founded in 1821, enjoys international renown as it featured regularly among the world’s top 10 universities of art and design. The success story of ECAL owes much to its director Pierre Keller, and to a dynamic team of instructors and students, whose works will be presented at the exhibition, namely Alexis Georgacopoulos currently head of design Department as well as other talents like Augustin Scott de Martinville, Thilo Brunner, Delphine Frey and Tomas Kral.
By offering a Master of Advanced Studies Luxury & Design, focusing exclusively on the role of design in the luxury industry, ECAL fosters Switzerland as a center of excellence in the field of luxury goods. The MAS-Luxury is privately founded and sponsored by some of the most renowned brand leaders amongst them Nespresso, Swarovski, Christofle and Bernardaud.
Pierre Keller will hold a lecture on the topic of ’ECAL: A Success Story in Art & Design’ to give the audience in-depth insights into the school’s success story, a story which made ECAL a partner of choice for leading firms and universities around the world and a centre of attraction for prominent experts and designers.
