Back-to-school workshops 2024

This fall, École Camondo plunged its students into the heart of creativity and innovation, with intensive week-long workshops. Students had the opportunity to work on concrete projects in collaboration with brands and alongside recognized professionals. On the program: exploration of artificial intelligence, the circular economy, new materials and the retail of tomorrow.

These workshops were conceived in a collaborative Trans-promo dimension, where 3rd-year students were able to pass on their know-how to 2nd-year students, creating a dynamic of sharing.  

Highlights at Camondo Paris :

• In partnership with Bang & Olufsen, students imagined new products combining light and sound, using artificial intelligence.
• With the support of Commitment and MF BRANDS brands (Aigle, Lacoste, Gant, The Kooples, Technifibre), students explored the challenges of the circular economy in the fashion sector.
• Students discovered the amazing properties of myco-materials, and their applications in interior design. 
• Focusing on the fast-growing and changing tableware retail sector, the students imagined new retail experiences.
• The students pushed back the boundaries of jewelry design by proposing new product typologies for Les Néréides.

Highlights in Toulon: 

• The Workshop between Ecole Camondo and La HEAD Genève, with the theme “New Hedonisms – Climatic Domesticity”, invited students to imagine and construct domestic scenes adapted to a post-climatic era, using the bare living spaces of the Villa Romaine as a backdrop. To do this, they used low-tech transformations of second-hand domestic objects, unearthed locally.

These workshops enabled the students to develop their technical skills, creativity and sense of innovation, while preparing themselves for the challenges of the professional world.
