Atelier BBB is making projects around functional and industrial objects for the widest range of context. Time goes fast and so, one of the only rules at Atelier BBB is not to be in a hurry. You can below find some works by atelier BBB and not enough texts. Atelier BBB is an office composed of just one person trying to make as less final products as possible. More texts will come soon. Atelier BBB is reachable by email at : mail@atelierbbb.com, or by post: Atelier BBB, Route de Grandvaux 31, CH-1072, Forel (Lavaux). Here are a bio and friends.
