Visit of the Vitra Design museum near Basel. A delight of architecture, Pop Art, design furniture… and also graphics!

A brief review of the Saint-Étienne Design Biennial. Of course, it’s difficult to give you an exhaustive account of this event, which brings together several hundred exhibitions all around Saint-Étienne, let alone when visiting it with two little girls aged 3 and 5! In this context, I can already announce the 2013 design prize awarded by them : the Barbie-Foot !

Fortunately, as I turned down an alleyway, I came across the “Istanbul Design Center”. It’s a school of applied art, a venue for exhibitions, workshops and conferences, a publishing house… in short, just what I was looking for!
A few posters have piqued my curiosity!
Unfortunately, I had to drop in outside opening hours… not a single student, just a calligraphy teacher who suggested I drop in again the following week… sniff… So it’s back in France that I find out more about this place and discover an amazing communication made by the founder of this place: Faruk Akın ( with a “ı” without a dot ! like in our Graphéıne logo! :-) )
