"Galm" materializes a series of monumental planters. Between nature and artifact, these majestic monoliths dress outdoor spaces like sculptures. Their timeless shapes, both round and prominent, elegantly convey the qualities of metal. Patinated, this mysterious material dialogues with the landscape. For this first object of the Signature Edition, the Neuchâtel industrial designer Laure-Gremion has emphasized the clear and incisive lines characteristic of sheet steel. Passionate about the magic of materials and manufacturing processes, she has developed simple yet iconic geometric shapes that highlight Schaller's expertise.

Available in three generous sizes, the Galm collection sublimates the surrounding nature.
Galm, the origin of the name
Galm is an atypical Swiss township. It is the only one that consists exclusively of forest, without any inhabitants. The Galm forest, one of the most beautiful oak forests in Switzerland, has its own coat of arms and is administered directly by the State of Fribourg, its owner. A forestry engineer is the managing director of this unique community.
"Medicine for Abandoned Objects.
Médecins du Monde's campaign underlines the fact that everyone deserves assistance and care, regardless of their background, lifestyle choices or beliefs. Transposing this approach to her chosen field, designer Laure Gremion cares for objects destined for destruction. Like the theme of her “On s'en fout campaign”, the condition of the furniture she finds matters little. The pieces exhibited in her work RAM DAM were destined to disappear, but were saved in extremis and restored by the artist herself. All the objects were recovered and restored between October 6 and November 30, 2023.
With the invaluable collaboration of the Vadec recycling center in Cortaillod.
The "Oleada" table is the result of a collaboration between the industrial designer Laure Gremion and the ceramist Coline Peltier. "Oleada" skillfully combines the ideas of the designer and the expertise of the ceramist while combining their formal languages.
The set is composed of two nesting tables with wave-shaped bases. These two elements can be positioned in multiple ways and interact with each other, revealing an intriguing play of light and shadow.
Sharing their premises, they wanted to create a special coffee table for the living room area of the studio. The concept was to create two similar elements but of different sizes with production and size constraints of the tools available in Coline Peltier's workshop namely the rolling mill and the kiln.
They therefore developed their shapes from laminated clay plates and adapted the dimensions of the table to the maximum possible with the available tools. Once the constraints were established, the duo made several small-scale models to find the ideal shape.
They settled on a (soft) wave shape which offers an intriguing play of light and shadow while providing stability and ease of and easy to produce in series.
Coline then worked on the material, proposing a chamotte stoneware for the base and a tray of the same color but smoother and glazed for the top. In order to reveal the beauty of the curve of the base, she also suggested that one of the two tables with a glass top.

CHOCOLATISSIMO
Pour célébrer les 10 ans de Chocolatissimo, Laure Gremion Studio a conçu une toute nouvelle tablette de chocolat inspirée de la pierre d’Hauterive, emblème de la région neuchâteloise.
Au-delà de sa couleur, la pierre d’Hauterive se caractérise par différentes techniques de tailles de pierre. Nous avons capturé ces textures à l’aide d’un scanner 3D puis les avons modélisées afin d’obtenir un moule dans lequel un chocolat blond, aux teintes dorées de la pierre jaune a été coulé.

Sucre, beurre de cacao, poudre de lait entier, lactosérum en poudre (lait), matière grasse laitière, sirop de sucre caramélisé, lécithines de soja.

Boum smart watering system was developed in collaboration with the young urban gardening startup from Bern «Boum». They came up with the wonderful idea of an autonomous watering system in order to help everybody have a splendid and vivid green space at home without much effort. They already had done market tests and prototypes when they came to me for a complete redesign. My contribution was to design a shelving system that would be practical, space-saving, optimized for shipment, and nice to look at.
It consists of a modular system based on the combination of on single planter and base with a frame. It allows the creation of various shapes, in order to fit everyone’s balcony.
Modular system in 3 configurations:
- hang on the balcony baluster (possibility to add a standard system)
- shelving system
- foot to lay on the ground
With this new watering system alimented by a solar panel, you only have to refill the tank every 3 weeks, the system takes care of the watering. There is also an application to get all types of data: temperature, level of water in the tank, and an online community to share gardening tips. All the electronics and piping are hidden to allow and nice customer experience.

Girolle &co is a redesign of the traditional circular cheese grater « Girolle » invented by Nicolas Crevoisier in 1982. This new version offers a wider diversity of uses thanks to a reversible elongated board and a storage compartment. The front of the board includes metal pins to fix the « Tête de Moine » cheese and the back of the board is smooth which allows arranging other cheese and delicatessen once the board is turned over. Easily removable, the central rod and the blade can be stored in the internal compartment.
I think the « Girolle » is an awesome product, very smart, simple, and efficient, nevertheless, it is a pretty cumbersome object and it can only be used for its main purpose. At home, I only use my « Girolle » once or twice a year and I never unscrewed the central rod, as I have no idea where to store it once disassembled. My new « Girolle &co » offers the traditional « Girolle » new perspectives with a wider tray, providing space for other cheese or cold cuts. Moreover, the assembly of the components is simplified and there is a storage room for spare parts. The real challenge of this project was to keep the essence and simplicity of the original product as well as optimizing its manufacturing costs for production in Switzerland.

Orphéon is an installation I made for the Design Biennale Zurich 2021.
Inspired by drums, the fountain plays music with water and cymbals following a computer-programmed music score. This melody is disrupted by the random movement of the floating steel balls. By pushing them in the pond, one can play with the sounds.
Cymbals and drums are hammered by hand in wooden molds and the water showers and 3d printed.
When you enter “Orphéon”, you enter a sacred realm where an enchanting fountain performs an ode to rain. Listen to the strange music played by raindrops and take a moment to enjoy this mystical atmosphere.
Installation in the old botanic garden In Zürich from the 12th of August until the 5th of September 2021 during the Design biennale.

This project is a face mask designed for the swiss start-up Swoxid. It integrates a new type of filter made of an innovative nanoporous aerogel composite created by Swoxid.
Upon solar irradiation, this material is able to render contaminated water safe by removing and inactivating infectious diseases, causing biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and worms. Unlike the conventional water purification technologies, this system does not require the use of electricity or chemical compounds to provide disinfection.
Together we integrated these cutting-edge filters into a colorful and fun face mask that can be used up to 1000 times thanks to its UV illumination pocket case!

Arrimage in an extremely light and compact bag made of DuPont Tyvek®, a wonderful material that looks like paper but has unexpected properties. It makes our bag waterproof and almost unbreakable. To stiffen the Tyvek®, a thick cotton rope goes around the bag, rigidify the bottom and the sides, creates a front pocket, and ends in handles. Those two materials are both highly durable and recyclable. Inspired by Chinese Xuan Paper and developed during an artist residency in Shanghai, Arrimage is the match of swiss design and Chinese swiftness.
