“ A former ESDAC student in interior architecture, I now run my own interior architecture practice between Megève and Geneva.
My success is also, in part, theirs and that of the whole teaching team. I have had the chance to compare this programme with many other schools through the work-study students I have met from all over France. ESDAC is clearly one of the most complete programmes out there: all the keys to succeeding professionally are handed to you, and it is then up to each student to make serious use of them. The teachers are committed and highly skilled, the curricula are in tune with what the market expects, and the skills gained make it possible to envisage a career, including an international one, for motivated students.
I would recommend this school without hesitation, for its human dimension as much as for its professional quality. ”
Hugo Allegre - Mastère Design Architecture d’Intérieur - ESDAC Clermont-Ferrand
“ Product design is a discipline I teach at ESDAC, where we set out to design everyday objects methodically, across every possible sector (sport, medical, luxury, craft, industrial production runs, and so on). What we want to pass on to students is a genuine passion and curiosity for making things, and the habit of thinking before putting an idea forward and then building it on solid foundations. In this department we try to help students find the designer they want to become. ”
Maxime Paulet, product design lecturer at ESDAC Aix-en-Provence
“ What is great about ESDAC is that the teachers are there to guide us in what we want to do. We steer our projects with our tutors, but the ideas come from us. It is collective work with our tutors, and that is what is beautiful about this school. Nicolas Robineau was my technical tutor; he always gave me the keys so that I would never get stuck on my ideas. As students we sometimes have too little to work with and sometimes too much, so while we are still studying we can let go, explore what a building makes possible and build up our knowledge, our technique and that drive to present a viable project to the panel. It is genuinely hands-on experience, and I wish the same for every student in interior architecture or spatial design. ”
Argan Martinez, ESDAC Marseille alumnus, Design d'Espace et Architecture d'intérieur class of 2024-2025
“ My aim is to give students a concrete picture of what the profession expects. Professionals know precisely what they are looking for, and it is essential that students have that moment of realisation: understanding how to develop a project accurately and methodically.
I place great importance on dialogue, offering different approaches to broaden their range of skills and open up as many opportunities as possible. The strength of our teaching also lies in the fact that most of our lecturers are practising professionals: we know exactly where to guide students so that they become the designers they want to be. ”
Mathilde Guterhlé - Interior architect, spatial design coordinator and lecturer at ESDAC Nancy.
