Resources, the theme of Est Ensemble’s next Emergences Biennial, calls upon designers, craftsmen and material artists to give dimension to the mutations currently going on in the way we use resources. Because whether they are material, technical or intellectual, these resources give a uniqueness to c
reative gestures and the products that result from them(...)By echoing this new awareness that will irrigate the ecosystem of design and savoir-faire in the future, this 6th edition of Emergences will resonate creations on many different scales and horizons. With the visitors who come to Emergence, we wish to reveal “remarkable resources” and shed light on new economies, new uses and new aesthetics.
