Together, we imagine tomorrow's lifestyles: how will we travel, work, live, feed and care for our health but also how will we entertain ourselves? We work both in Saint-Étienne and its metropolitan area, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, in France, in Europe and internationally.
Design is a crucial tool for innovation and a factor of competitiveness for companies. Through its dual mission, aesthetics and usability, it gives shape to ideas and makes concepts tangible. Design associates multidisciplinary teams across business sectors. Thus, it accelerates the innovation process.
Design provides original responses to SMEs and SMIs as well as large groups in order to meet the major societal challenges defined by the European strategy: industrial renewal, health and well-being, food safety and demographic challenge, mobility and energy, information and communication.
