Throughout his life, Jacques Hitier was always driven by the intent of sharing his knowledge with aspiring young designers.
This wish materialises in the multiple roles he had in L’École Boulle:
- Specialized Teacher: 1946-1964
- Academic Dean: 1964-1972
- Director: 1972-1982
Jacques Hitier and the transmission
During all his life, Jacques Hitier doesn’t only create but he also spends time to share with the next generation his experiences and his vision to design.
By the necessity of transmission, he builds the foundations of what the industrial design offers, according to the designer of Charlie Crame, Gaspard Tiné-Berès.
