Faced with the production challenges of the 21st century, what resources are designers working with today to prepare for tomorrow? The 13th edition of the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne will focus on the theme of “Resource(s), presaging tomorrow”. From May 22 to July 6, 2025, the Biennial will be inviting the public to discover new objects, get ideas and exchange viewpoints around exploratory design, in touch with contemporary issues, at the heart of an unmissable festive event.
Deadline : December 31, 2024
On that occasion, Cité du design – ESADSE’s Material Resources Library and Saint-Étienne Métropole send out a call for applications for “UNESCO Creative Cities of Design: Tomorrow’s resources and know-how” exhibition. This exhibition aims to highlight how the cultural and creative industries (companies, designers, artists, craftsperson, engineers, etc.) of UNESCO Creative Cities of Design adapt materials and processes in a context of resource scarcity, circular economy and resilience. It explores how these professionals innovate and transform their practices to answer contemporary challenges, while promoting sustainability and resilience in their creations. We invite CCI stakeholders from UNESCO Creative Cities of Design to submit their innovative and original proposals. Applications will be evaluated on their relevance to the theme, to their aesthetic and functional quality, as well as their environmental impact and sustainability.
