From a wine bottle you might see at the super­­­mar­ket to a chair held in the MOMA’s perman­ent collec­­tion, from a collab­or­a­­tion with Japan­ese ceram­i­cists to a furniture design for Ikea, the work of this Lausanne-based trio is recog­n­ised both in Switzer­­­land and inter­­n­a­­tion­ally.

The found­ing trio of BIG-GAME has consisted, since 2004, of Augustin Scott de Martin­ville – Swiss and French, born in 1980, he grew up in China (Beijing and Hong Kong), and stud­ied at ECAL / Univer­sity of Art and Design Lausanne, gradu­at­ing in 2005 –, Grégoire Jean­monod – Swiss, born in 1978, he grew up in Switzer­land in the Canton of Vaud, and stud­ied indus­trial design at ECAL / Univer­sity of Art and Design Lausanne, gradu­at­ing in 2003 – and Elric Petit – Swiss and Belgian, born in 1978, who grew up in Belgium and Algeria, stud­ied indus­trial design at La Cambre in Brus­sels and gradu­ated in 2003. In addi­tion to their design work, the three founders of BIG-GAME also serve as profess­ors at ECAL / Univer­sity of Arts and Design Lausanne. The studio describes its work as simple, func­tional and optim­istic, and today consists of a team of 5 to 7 people.
