Design thinks about you... Did you thought about Design? At the "Cité des sciences" Until Sunday January 27th,

The 2008 Design observer
Until Sunday January 27th, 2008

Design thinks about you... Did you ever thought about Design? For the eighth year in a row, the "Cité des sciences" is welcoming the Design observer, a priviledge rendez-vous with design organised by the Agency for the promotion of industrial creation (APCI).
New shapes, new materials, new objects, the most innovatives realisation of the year will be on display at this annual window display of contemporary design.

The 2008 Design observer, to think Design differently
Thinking Design differently is descovering its true identity. It needs a shift, another perspective in your point of vue.
That's exactly what this exhibition is about through its scenography both educational and surprising. It gives you the keys to discover the variety of steps a designers goes through, and it allow the audience to better "read" spaces, objects and picture in our day-to-day life... thus to better choose those. All sectors will be presented from medical appliances to white goods to sport.

Design thinks about you... everyday! Our paths crossed daily: at home, in public transports, at the office... it's an inner part of our life to an extend that sometimes we simply forget about it.
BEcause contrary to preconceived ideas, Design isn't only about aesthetical qualities. Design can and must raise the bar for life quality, materialise an innovation or more simply creates emotion.


Design is a global approach and its all point resumes into one word: YOU!
Today, design field of expertise are wider then ever and do not self-limit to product design. An example? Everyone has a cell phone, and you can bet it has been designed by a designer, as well as its user graphic interface, its "Packaging", not to forget its brand identity, its website and your connectivity provider's Point of sale...
Whatever applications, they obey to one only ryle: Listen to the consumer.
