about the BIENNALE

An international design Biennale is hosted every two years in the town of St Etienne, France in the Loire valley. Created by Saint-Étienne Town Council and the Regional Fine Art School, the International Design Biennial has become increasingly successful since it was launched in 1998. It has become a major event not only within the Loire region, but also nationally and internationally.
It is intended as a tool for local economic and cultural development, for its businesses and the relevant professionals.
So many different types of designers and companies from all over the world take part and display their work. This year it was the 5th edition and took place from November 22nd until December 3rd, 2006.
