fabécole

This exhibition is the fruit of a collaboration, concrete and anchored in real know-how, between companies based mainly in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the Cité du design – Ésad Saint-Étienne materials library and the students in the 3rd year of their design course at Ésad Saint-Étienne.

FABécole is an innovative educational project set up at Ésad Saint-Étienne in 2019 based on a skills sharing model. It aims to bring added value to the know-how of companies mainly in the regions thanks to the creativity of students.

For this 2nd edition of the FABécole exhibition during the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne, some thirty prototypes designed and made between 2021 and 2024 will be on show, highlighting the collaborations with companies in various sectors such as metalworking, the wood and furniture industry, composites manufacturing, tanning, construction, textiles, the plastics industry, process engineering and manufacturing technologies.
