Diversions
Divert your minds! We suggest you put aside the tedium of the everyday and, for a moment, enjoy an interlude of pleasurably provocative reading. Diversions is the first issue in the Cahier de recherche series, featuring a selection of essays by Master students in Product Design at ECAL. In these pages, we introduce the ideas, wishes and doubts that occupy a new generation of designers, while documenting the breadth of their perspectives.
