When he discovered in high school that a designer is an “architect for objects,” St\u00e9phane Thirouin knew this was his calling: to “create” rather than “recite”\u2014a natural fit for a lifelong Lego enthusiast.<\/p>

Armed with a degree from ESDI (Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure de Design Industriel), St\u00e9phane entered the industrial sector to experience the birth of products firsthand.<\/p>

After 10 years at LEGRAND, a specialist in electrical equipment where he designed products sold by the tens of millions, St\u00e9phane was recruited by FACOM\u2014a dream choice for a mechanic at heart\u2014where he spent a decade designing tools with lifetime guarantees. During this time, he also earned an Executive MBA from ESSEC.
St\u00e9phane then took over the design leadership at Groupe SEB.<\/p>

A tenure at the startup Devialet made him realize it was time to embark on his own entrepreneurial adventure.<\/p>

And that is how he decided to “sell wind,” by designing, financing, and industrializing Williwaw!<\/p>

A few years and a great deal of hard work later, Williwaw has established itself as a designer fan<\/a> that is powerful<\/a>, intelligent<\/a>, sustainable<\/a>, and ultra-silent<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
