As part of the Design Studio Concept, Groupe Sensation Mode, the creators and organizers of the MFDF, announce the official launch of ‘’Sur les bancs publics’’:the Montreal sit-in, an innovative project whose purpose is to extend the outreach of Montreal designers into the daily life of residents and tourists alike, while enhancing the city’s urban landscape.
Over the next 7 years, 5 industrial design artists will be invited to present their interpretation of 5 of Montreal’s public benches located in a specific location. Thus, by 2017, 35 of the city’s benches will be transformed into true works of art, and in the process, they will create a route inviting discovery as well as a legacy celebrating Montreal 2017.
The Montreal Fashion and Design Festival wishes to express its sincere thanks to Tourisme Québec, the Quebec Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy (MAMROT - ministère des Affaires municipales, des Régions et de l’Occupation du territoire du Québec), and the Ville-Marie Borough for their support and vision in this major rallying project.
