Bio
Sophie grandit en suisse romande, se forme aux arts visuels au collège Voltaire. Singal passe son enfance dans les montagnes de la vallée Onsernone à la lumière des bougies, loin de la civilisation et se forme aux arts visuels à la CSIA de Lugano. Par la suite, ils étudient le design industriel à l’ECAL. Ils fondent avec Olivier un premier bureau de design à Lausanne en 2006: Lifegoods sàrl.
Après dix ans de direction artistique et de design dans l’horlogerie, le mobilier et le mobilier urbain, ils créent une marque de montre basée sur l’économie circulaire: ID Genève SA.
Actuellement, ils interviennent à la HEAD et au CEPV pour enseigner le design basé sur l’économie circulaire.
