RIWAN COEFFIC© 2020

    De­sign­er based in Paris, work­ing at the in­ter­sec­tion of prod­uct de­sign, sculp­ture and il­lus­tra­tion. Grad­u­at­ed from the École Boulle and the Design Academy Eindhoven, I worked with Kollektiv Plus Zwei, Klemens Schillinger, Cara\Davide and have seen my worked fea­tured in sev­er­al events, such as the Dutch De­sign Week 2018 – 20 or the Saint-Éti­enne's Bi­en­nale of Design 2019.

    This is a nar­row se­lec­tion of my re­cent work. Don't hes­i­tate to contact me or to check on my instagram for an ex­tend­ed port­fo­lio.

  • Quatre Couleurs

    • Graduation project

    This project finds its inspiration in the shapes and volumes of my daily environment. The A6 frame of the paper allows me to confront and merge architectural elements and geological forms into one standardised medium. Quatre Couleurs is a conversion of these nonscaled compositions into the physical world. The graphic qualities of the illustrations and the satisfaction of the process are translated into physically tangible and functional furniture through the realm of product design.

  • Chlore Cocktail

    • Graduation project
    Mosaic tiles & tile adhesive
    2020

    It is a line of fur­ni­ture that ex­plores the vi­su­al and evoca­tive pow­er of mo­sa­ic tiles. Ev­ery el­e­ment is us­ing the tiles as a unit of con­struc­tion, so they can eman­ci­pate from their usu­al con­text while car­ry­ing the aes­thet­ics codes. Chlore Cock­tail is in­spired by pub­lic swim­ming pools, and will car­ry the smell of chlo­rine any­where.

  • Plateaux de Fruits (de mer)

    • Ceramic & glazing
    2019

    It is a set of (sea) fruit trays. It is ¡ not ! made of ce­ram­ic tiles. The white tiles from fish shops or kitchens are faked to be ap­plied to table­ware.

    « I love water, in twenty, thirty years, it will be gone. »
      Jean-Claude Van Damme

    These are vas­es, aquar­i­ums, in twen­ty, thir­ty years, we will not make any of those any­more. As de­sign­ers, it is dif­fi­cult to ad­mit that we make beau­ti­ful things for plea­sure. Here, we chose to com­bine tiles and wa­ter be­cause they fit well to­geth­er.

  • Rubrique

    • Paper pulp & pigment
    2018

    Rubrique is a set of con­tain­ers made of news­pa­per-pulp and pig­ments, com­pressed in one sin­gle mod­u­lar mold.

  • Als God in Frankrijk

    • Hand-blown glass, ballpoint pen drawings
    Dutch Design Week, Eindhoven
    2018

    « Leven als God in Frankrijk » is a Dutch ex­pres­sion that could be trans­lat­ed in­to « living in clover ».

    This stack­able con­tain­er, in­spired by the tra­di­tion­al Dutch old gen­ev­er bot­tle’s shape, is a set to em­pha­size small ev­ery­day plea­sures.
