This July, Alexis Georgacopoulos takes over as director of Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL), one of the world’s premier design schools. (He was formerly the head of its industrial-design department.) Although ECAL students will not, alas, have a presence at this month’s ICFF, in New York, Georgacopoulos himself will. The Brooklyn-based distributor Neo-Utility will be showing his six-piece Postino stationery collection, made from laser-cut anodized aluminum but inspired (appropriately) by the folding techniques for paper and cardboard envelopes.
