About
Transforming bone waste from meat processing into components for consumer electronics
Elos is a range of switches and sockets made from recycled animal bones which have electrical insulation properties and at present are simply a polluting waste by-product of the meat industry. The inspiration for the shape of the socket is the structure of the head of a femur, the switches are designed with the shaft bone in mind. Other components can be added such as a cable winder and a cell phone charging station.

ECAL, Lausanne University of Art and DesignI am an industrial designer graduated from ECAL (école cantonal d'art de Lausanne) in Switzerland. My interest is to find solutions to everyday problems, especially in the ecological aspect. I focus on the search for a natural and recyclable material. This way we avoid pollution by the energy consumed by the disintegration and we use the maximum of the existing resources. Then, I study the properties of the material to apply it in the best possible way in its object and allow a better durability.more
