After 20 years working in investment banking and private equity, Philippe Nacson (Class of 2012) decided it was time to tread a new path and pursue his creative passion for design. Making the most of the “breath of fresh air” that TRIUM provided, Philippe’s new career path has led him to success, with his furniture designs being featured at Paris, London, Milan, Shanghai, Honk Kong, New York and Miami. In addition, thanks to an enlightening meeting with an android, Philippe has turned his creative attention to themes of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and has started a new venture as the Designer and Founder for LOST ANDROIDS; a label fostering and building upon positive interactions between humans and Artificial Intelligence.
The idea for LOST ANDROIDS originated from Philippe’s encounter with an Otonaroid Android in Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo. As Philippe describes:
“I felt a simultaneous mix of fear, attraction and peacefulness. I instantly thought I needed to translate this experience somehow into something tangible, into something that would change our negative perception of AI in general into something positive.”
Philippe Nacson, a TRIUM 2012 graduate, is currently the Designer and Founder of LOST ANDROIDS.
