√ -CADE, MAGAZINE AD, 2020.

√ -CADE is a personal project, that I have have done entirely by myself from the idea to the production. Done under my design brand, Dazed And Confused Design.

√ -CADE goal is to rethink entirely the idea of a bar-top arcade cabinet. It’s sold as kit that you build yourself, in the same idea as an IKEA furniture. Composed of 5 sheet metal panels that you receive flat and have to bend and assemble yourself. It require minimal tools and mechanical knowledge to build, and is really doable by anyone, no soldering nor computer programming.

Running on a RASPBERRY PI it’s open to customization, It can run systems emulation from the Atari 2600, PS1 or GameCube to the latest arcade titles. It use a classic arcade button layout with a 8 directions joystick and 6 buttons with 2 additional side buttons. √ -CADE have a 10in HD LCD panel and a 2 speaker configuration.

It is expected to be on the market by 2021.

ARCH MOTORCYCLE 143, 2020-2021.

The ARCH Method 143 is the ultimate production concept motorcycle. Created to realize an ambition of what could be achieved in motorcycle design, to offer the opportunity for ownership of a motorcycle normally not to be obtained… a concept.

My role in the ARCH team was to manage the engineering side of the 143 project. I was working in close collaboration with the design and the manufacturing team to be sure that the production design is as close as possible to the initial design of the EICMA 2018 ARCH 143 Pre-production prototype.

A lot of parts of the bike is manufactured in the ARCH workshop but the carbon parts for examples have been manufactured by BST in South Africa, it was my role as well to manage those kind of collaboration with technical partnerships.

A big part of this project was to have the bike and also comply with the for current and future regulations of 2 wheeled vehicles in several markets (North America and the Europe).

The ARCH/S&S Method 143ci (2343cc) power plant exhilarates with power and confidence. The largest, most powerful engine employed within an ARCH motorcycle. The Method 143 is made with the first ever American production carbon fiber mono-cell motorcycle chassis incorporates fuel cell, air induction and ARCH/K&N Engineering filtration.

ARCH MOTORCYCLE 1S, 2019-2020.

The ARCH 1s is a motorcycle that draws influence from both cruiser and street sport riding to create a motorcycle that defies normal industry categorization. Featuring the first production single-sided billet aluminum swing arm from ARCH, the 1s also debuts new mid-controls to provide a more aggressive riding position and handling. .

My role in the ARCH team was to manage the engineering side of the 1s project. I was working in close collaboration with the design and the manufacturing team to be sure that the production design is as close as possible to the initial design of the EICMA 2018 ARCH 1s Pre-production prototype.

A lot of parts of the bike is manufactured in the ARCH workshop but the carbon parts for examples have been manufactured by BST in South Africa, it was my role as well to manage those kind of collaboration with technical partnerships.

A big part of this project was to have the bike and also comply with the for current and future regulations of 2 wheeled vehicles in several markets (North America and the Europe).

At the heart of the ARCH 1s sits the 124ci, high-torque ARCH/S&S V-twin downdraft fuel injected engine complimented by an ARCH designed exhaust system. The unique styling of the ARCH 1s utilizes a carbon fiber fuel cell integrating the air intake and filtration system. Striking use of steel and billet aluminum chassis elements combine with carbon fiber to create unique performance architecture, giving the 1s it’s distinctive styling.

Peugeot E-Legend, 2018.

A modern and sharp Coupé, this ultra-technological archetype of automotive pleasure finds its deep strength in the DNA of the PEUGEOT 504 Coupé.

As an Automotive Architect, my role was to develop the electrical system, wiring and choice of the components of the car corresponding to the design and mechanical specifications on subjects like in-board entertainment system, moving parts for seating and dashboard, exterior and interior lighting.

The electric power train and lithium battery pack as been developed in house at D3groupe specially for this project, and a electric steering as been developed for limited autonomous driving mode too.

I have in the D3 Technical studies office specifically developed a made battery Lithium-Ion 400V, 23kW, a first for the office. This battery pack as been made to be adapted on future project, with 2 configuration possible, a cube battery pack designed to be fitted under the hood, or a flat rectangular pack designed to be fitted  in the floor.

The car have level 2 autonomy driving capability. The conductor don't need to touch the steering and pedals for moving the car. (An external operator still have to drive the car in case of emergency with wireless controls)

Dazed & Confused Design, identity and brand development, 2018.

In order to centralize the various personal projects that I could realize, I decided to group them under a brand. This non-profit brand was created in early 2018. Around this name that I chose in reference to one of my favorite films, I developed an identity that represents me through a logo board and a short video spot. My next projects will be marked with this name and logo, in order to best represent my creative universe.

Afin de centraliser les différents projets personnel que j'ai pu réaliser, j'ai décidé de les regrouper sous une marque. Cette marque a but non lucratif a été crée en début 2018. Autour de ce nom que j'ai choisi en référence a un de mes film favoris, J'ai dévellopé une identité qui me représente par le biais d'une planche de logo et un court spot video.

Mes prochains projets seront marqué avec ce nom et ce logo, et ce afin de représenter au mieux mon univers créatif.

Automotive Architect, 2017.

In 2017 my mission was to standardize the architecture of the future concept-cars.

The adaptive car platform will have 2 power train solutions (72V power train and a 400V power train), 4 wheel directional wheels, and a reversible, adaptive and scalable frame with autonomous/wireless control possibilities. (An external operator still have to drive the car in case of emergency with wireless controls)

The project will be use on the next Renault concept-cars and for others Renault contractors.
