Depuis son ouverture en 2009, Merci favorise les rencontres entre jeunes talents du design et grand public. En accueillant une conversation entre créateurs et artisans, Merci espère susciter des partenariats avec des éditeurs à la recherche de nouvelles énergies. Pour qu'un prototype devienne un produit, il faut savoir initier la conversation : Merci est ainsi heureux de faciliter ce dialogue pour la 11e édition des Designer’s Days. L’exposition 15 designers 15 artisans 1 graphiste 1 critique 1 off présente les prototypes réalisés par 15 artisans rhônalpins et 15 designers qui ont été invités à produire en binôme une pièce cosignée. Chaque équipe a eu 2 mois pour se rencontrer, penser, concevoir et réaliser les pièces, avec pour tout brief une dimension n'excédant pas 60 x 60 x 60 cm. L’intention de ce projet initié par Emilie Colin Garros, Philippine Lemaire et David des Moutis à l’été 2010, est de promouvoir un mode de création basé sur la proximité et de valoriser l’innovation dans un cadre où le dialogue entre savoir et de savoir-faire est facilité. Ces échanges de procédés soulèvent les questions de l'exclusive paternité et de l'influence de l'artisanat sur la pratique du design. Les productions réalisées énoncent les prémices d’une production limitée
au bénéfi ce d’une possible industrialisation.

By playing host to a conversation between creators and artisans, Merci hopes to encourage partnerships with manufacturers on the lookout for new energies. In order for a prototype to become a product, it is necessary to
know how to initiate a conversation: Merci is happy to be able to facilitate such a dialogue for the 11th edition of
Designer’s Days.
The exhibition 15 designers 15 artisans 1 graphic artist 1 critic 1-off presents the prototypes of 15 artisans from the Rhone-Alpes region, which 15 designers have been invited to reproduce, to create a cosigned piece. Each team had 2 months to meet, imagine, design and produce the pieces, with the only brief being a size not exceeding 60 x 60 x 60 cm. The aim of this project initiated by Emilie Colin Garros, Philippine Lemaire and David des Moutis in summer 2010, was to promote a creation method based on proximity and to promote innovation within a framework in which dialogue between knowledge and know-how is facilitated. These exchanges in procedures raise questions about exclusive paternity and the influence of artisanat on design practices. The productions reflect a first approach to a limited production with a view to possible industrialisation.
