Künzli Ortho-Rehab absolut 2.0

Concept images

Two ways to walk through recovery.

Ortho-Rehab absolut 2.0 reimagines Künzli's rehabilitation shoe for Achilles tendon recovery through two concepts. The first is a breathable shoe made to be worn at home, where aesthetics matter as much as support. Paired with a matching sandal for the other foot, it keeps both feet at the same height to protect the back.
The second is a mono-material shell in TPU, 3D printed by selective laser sintering (SLS). Its upper part can be worn on its own at night, offering continuous support without the full shoe.

I’m a French-American industrial designer and artist based in San Francisco. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and functional thinking, I connect this know-how with emerging technologies to create objects with innovative forms and sustainable uses.

Alongside my studio practice, I have conceived and delivered products, artworks and international exhibitions, taking projects from concept through fabrication and installation. I have also taught at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where I helped students discover how art thinking can open new directions in design.
