About
I am Nicolas Boda, an independent French industrial designer who has worked across Europe, from Bilbao to Amsterdam, and Copenhagen, evolving from an intern to senior level.
This journey has deepened my understanding of traditional industrial design practices and broadened my perspective on its future potential.
Values
I believe that meaningful design must go beyond surface and serve real needs. Inspired by Victor Papanek’s Function Complex, my work is grounded in six essential dimensions: method, use, need, context, association, and aesthetics. This framework helps me stay accountable, not only to form and function, but to the broader social, cultural, and ecological contexts each project inhabits.
It's a constant reminder that design is not neutral, it shapes lives, habits, and futures.
