Presenting craftsmanship at the Élysée Palace
Preparing the public presentation of a company-made surfboard for France’s national Made in France exhibition.
Presenting craftsmanship at the Élysée Palace
Context
In 2024, a surfboard made by the company was selected for the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France at the Élysée Palace. The presentation needed to make both the object and the collective craft behind it understandable.
Need
Explain a technical, handcrafted object in an institutional setting without oversimplifying how it is made.
My role
I contributed to the presentation concept, prepared content and helped coordinate the communication materials around the board and the team’s know-how.
