Readings design .. on the road to Saint-Etienne in Geneva by going Lift09,

While sitting in a brand new TER as the suburbs of Paris might envy, I wander with delight number 30 of the very good review published by L'Azimut ESADSE, School of Design in St. Etienne. It reveals a conversation between the philosopher Pierre Damiens and Emmanuel Huygues Tibloux: "Design, manners and morals" for the less comforting. "Design is a challenge" ...., Bauhaus, era, new era or different phase .... "" A situation of issue between those who pushed the word and practice in the sense of an industry that would not think in terms of its own attacks "....

It also discovered, with an echo interesting about the above, an article by Anthony van den Bossche, a manager of communication and a collective of designers who Duende "writing" with "arrogance" funny enough to Andrea Branzi. The paper entitled "One or two things about our generation lucky" opens with a controversial debate Iltalien architect and icon in the Post Modern Generation who has renounced the industry. AVDB accuses the Italian architect about facing a theoretical production centered almost exclusively on the vases. He opposes him as the "function" to the "image". It is difficult to abstract in this AB invective. His wonderful exhibition on Italian design pre-Memphis presented at the Triennale in Milan in 2008 attests. But About AVDB is not devoid of certain truths and express clearly the claims of a generation. The group consists of talented young designer who recently graduated proposed projects are quite complex and intriguing. However, contrary to the claims of the text, the proposals are quite big on the "function". We find instead a spectacle of staged design that hesitates between scenery, science and entertainment.
It's courageous, clumsy and stimulating. But perhaps the fact that the most successful of this interesting adventure seems to be communication. This weakens a bit of force.

The Lift09 offers us the opportunity to continue our journey into the ideas of the new design
The "design critic" English is decidedly in vogue. You see it in schools. The country design council, design thinking, design management, social design and design for all seems to discover the continent and to taste the Italian thinkers, philosophers French, Latin polemics and artistic practices (Auger and Loizeau, Dune, etc ...). The British design has become a manufacturer of questions, through a whistle-blower and fears. These fears are close to our technological state of the moment. They therefore have a certain success in France. It even happens to be confused with artists as revealed by the slip of Hubert Guillaud in his report very complete.
I stay still and wait on my hunger proposals. Where is the commitment and involvement in the real future and the future of reality?. The Story Telling Is the future of design? The narrative design is it not a risk in terms of actual practices disconnect?
The critical dimension of the design is not so new and is part of the design (new technology or not.). I think Sotssas, Branzi, Local Tools, Superstudio etc. .... And Gropius and Moholy-Nagy. The (good) design is critical in nature, it is perhaps not bother to qualify it as such, except to make a market.

Design ideas Italian designer Fabio Sergio, country icon design evokes in his presentation the need to move from the world of design to the design world. Its purpose, clear and structured, is very focused on users. It reminds me of the great tradition of Anglo-Saxon design. Europe is a bit upside the head has to Lift 09.

David Rose offers us his vision researcher, but also an entrepreneur. He delights us with his enchanted items. David is an experimenter and practitioner is primarily a strength of this proposal believe 2009.

All this is exciting and the lift is challenging. The program provides excellent critical reading of the spectrum, issues, boundaries, trails and balances to find the future.
The good news for those who could not go to Geneva Lift09 is that Fing organizes an edition of Lift in France in Marseille in June Enjoy yourself to invent our future. This is the theme
