Saint-Etienne is called the city of “Design” at the point that stores like Burger Design, Hairdressing Design and coffee Design are opening. Even communication campaigns of municipality are “Design”, “UNESCO Design City”, “Mes Instants Design”, “Le Coeur du Design bat a Saint-Etienne”, etc.
Does calling something “design” makes it “design”?
This carafe is my critic answer to a workshop where City of Saint-Etienne asks students to create a carafe that represents the city.
During the 11th Biennale Internationnale Design Saint-Etienne the Design carafe was sold for 50 euros each at the official Design store of the event.
