A very " Resource" oriented catalogue
The catalogue for the 13th Biennale Internationale Design Saint Étienne does more than simply document the exhibitions: it extends their commitments. By taking on this multiple materiality and making the most of what already exists, it asserts itself as a publishing object in keeping with the Biennial’s overall approach.
At the crossroads of graphic design and rational production, it embodies an inventive and situated economy of means. It was printed on eleven different types of paper, selected from dormant stock at the Chirat printing works (Saint-Just-La-Pendue, Loire), to make the most of available resources. The papers were chosen according to a number of criteria (grammage, texture, colour), but also according to the quantities needed to produce the copies. The catalogue becomes a visual and tactile colour chart, where each change of paper is indicated by an explanatory leaflet: on the front, the technical characteristics; on the back, a four-colour image to observe the impact of each paper on the rendering of colours.
