In 1998, The Saint-Etienne Regional School of Fine Arts began organizing the Saint-Etienne International Design Biennial, which was to become the most eclectic of design events in France. Produced and directed by the City of Design, the multiple exhibitions, conferences, symposiums and meetings make up a veritable laboratory of contemporary trends, providing a perspective on the thinking and questions of our time, in the light of design issues.
