Jean-Louis Frechin

Jean-Louis Frechin is a French designer and architect recognized as a pioneer in digital design and innovation. Trained at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture de Paris-Villemin and ENSCI Les Ateliers, he went on to teach at ENSCI, where he founded the Digital Design Workshop and the FabLab workshop. In 2001 he launched NoDesign, a design and innovation studio dedicated to "neo-objects"-artifacts that sense, adapt, and interact with their context. His lighting and object work, such as the La Lampe Frechin for DCW Editions, explores the boundary between interface, technology, and poetic form.
