Design: International Design Biennial 2006, Saint Etienne, Nov. 22- Dec. 3, France

This year, the 2006 International Design Biennial is happy to send a mainstream invitation to both professionals and the others who, as privileged few, will open out to the world.
There will be several exhibition sites scattered around the city and its outlying parts ; there will be highlights along a course with topics that concern eath of us.
This approach to design is made of diverse points of view and far from being thorough, it is strongly biased as it purports to deal with innovations that it tries to illustrate with many complementary examples... technological examples, scientific, social or even cultural ones.

The 2006 International Design Biennial is worked out and organized by the Cité du Design team, directed by Elsa Francès who is in charge of the Commissariat Général of the Biennial.
The 2006 Biennial team has built this exhibition programme by gathering different exhibition curators, whether they are French or foreign, or people working for the Cité du Design team, French creators and designers and their foreign counterparts, many local companies, regional and international ones, but also students from the Ecole Supérieure d'Art et Design de Saint-Etienne and fifty other schools in the world.
