Mathilde Garcia, young graduate mention Espaces de l'ESADSE (Ecole Supérieure d'art et de design Saint-Etienne), questions the designer’s work: How to produce objects, while being aware of the responsibility of ecological costs, social, political and economic implications of production? As a response proposal, Mathilde garcia proposes a tool to evaluate the economic value of her objects. This is determined by three criteria: Labour Force Value (VFT), Human Cost Value (VCH) and Material Value (VM). These criteria make it possible to calculate the Total Economic Value (TEV) of each of its objects. “In order to control the economic value of the objects and to ensure that they are not “recovered” by the design market, I have gathered them in a catalogue under the verygooddesign® trademark.” She exhibits objects in single piece or small series.
