Snake is a wooden ice cream stick designed with a sinuous shape that allows multiple grips. The project revisits a familiar everyday object by working exclusively on form. The geometry encourages manipulation and exploration, transforming a simple element into an interactive and accessible object.
The project was designed to be produced using 3D printing with a filament made from wood sawdust. The serpentine form creates several grip areas without adding material or components. The design relies solely on variations in profile and volume to modify use and handling.
Snake was presented in 2019 as part of the exhibition Esquimaux at the Palais-Galerie (Neuchâtel, CH). The project was later exhibited in 2020 at the Mudac (Lausanne, CH) during the exhibition Extraordinaire, focusing on everyday objects reinterpreted through design.
