    Wooden Headphones

  • Why?

    At the first time, I was in search of new headphones to replace my old ones, wich are some classic made headphones, with plastic and metal. I've done a lot a research, and finally, I have thinking about doing my own, because none of what existing yet convince me to buy it, some of them where a way too expensive, looks old with a lot of plastic, or are too heavy for my head. Then I have thinked "But what about some headphones made in wood?".

    Wood is a material well-knowed for his musical quality, used by a lot of classical instruments, it exists some very light woods, and can be easily hand-crafted. Furthermore, if I want an elogical product, I can used a wood certified by a green label, and designed my final product to be easily repairable (and not only the electronics parts, but the shape too).

    In fact, I have just wanted to do a green Headphones, easily repairable, with some style, that doesn't exist yet!

  • Conception

    The Headphones were made using the same technique for making skateboard and surfboard. I've used several plys of wood, assembled with a ecological resin. With the advice of a Joiner, I've a succeed, after a lot of tryes, to do a well shaped one, and this is my first prototype.

  • Hand Made

    I enjoy a lot of doing what I designed myself when I have to do some prototypes. The Wooden Headphones is totally handmade by myself, with the advice and the help of real wood's Craftsmen, thanks for them! But if I want to produce it in larger quantity, I already have the plans of mass production on my desk.

  • Wild Riding Hood

    Wild Riding Hood Title

  • The Game

    Wild Riding Hood is a two player game, based on a pursuit game. It's an installation with two screen, where the purpose is for the biker, to catch the young girl who have stole his keys. We haved decided to use a comics-like rendering, to use less power than a regular modern production's game, and to allow our game to be played on small powered computer. The regular game is playable on a single screen, with a split-screen for each player.

  • Making Of

    The game is made with 3DS© Max for the modeling, and Virtools© for the real-time rendering and every script used during the game. It's a one month project, made with Fanny Ehling, from the beginning with the first conceptual drawings, to the final game.

  • Bureau des Sports

    To create cohesion within the school and offer students a regular sports practice, Thomas Dupeyrat & Thomas Busson have decided to create a sports bureau with friends, wich I am. For this purpose, we had to set up an association and to create some partnerships. We especially insisted upon the variety of the sports the bureau proposes and we tryed to interest students in little known or little practised sports.
