Designers have always had an important and primordial place in our societys.

They are those that transmit in the history our succes, our defeat, our hopes, our weaknesses, our joys, etc.

1 - Global and conceptual art
Integrate designing historic building, visual advertising for national advertising campaign...

2 - Locals identitys riches window
Let take the place to street furniture, architecture, cooke and food...

3 - Traditions and locals cultures

The Region's or géographic's area Identity is always across a delicate balance between économic reason, locals colors characteristics's and traditional inheritance.
