November. Autumn seems to be settling in at last, with its shortened days well before the aperitif hour and its temperatures requiring many warm and friendly places. To prefigure this slow-living trend, this desire to slow down, while wishing to be taken care of, the event of the week is EquipHotel, which responds to it in the best possible way with its innovations in what is now called hospitality.
Autumn is also often a return to our roots, and what better way to get back to our roots than at the Puces du Design? They are back under a new name The Place to Be Design, leaving you with little choice but to be there!
Finally, if this is also a season of plenty, signs of decline are inevitable. And it was with regret that we learned of the death of Yves Domergue, a pioneer of railway design in France and co-founder of the MBD Design agency – as well asthat of Marc Berthier, founder ofElium Studio, a few days ago, at 87 years old.
For odp, Frédéric Simon, founder of Nimos Design who was one of Yves Domergue’s collaborators, pays tribute to him here.
So, remember and above all, take care!

EquipHotel – 09h30 / 19h
EquipHotel show (06/10-11); in 2022, committed hospitality is the common thread: terroirs, territories, “slow tech”, “slow living”, energy savings and soft mobility have become strong points for an establishment. As well as attractiveness, team spirit, inclusion and loyalty at the heart of the dynamics of a hotel or restaurant. The design of “living spaces”, where people come to sleep, have lunch or dinner, but also to work, recharge their batteries, and immerse themselves in a culture or nature close to home.
Round tables (06/09-11) led by Intramuros in partnership with the French Furniture, at the Interior Design Center (hall 7.2). Program

” Yves Domergue has just left us this Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at the age of 82.
Within the agency, often at his side, between 1980 and 2007, I was able to participate in and manage hundreds of industrial and railway projects during these 27 years.
My professional experience and half of my life are marked by this school of design which has trained so many talented men and women alongside the 4 founders of the agency.
All of these designers have gone on to create beautiful companies or are currently pursuing beautiful careers, always driven by this motivation of GOOD design, this founding determination of M.B.D. Design.
All the young designers who joined the team at that time have vivid and profitable memories of their experiences.
With the departure of Yves Domergue, the MBD Design Group, which he founded in 1972 with his brother Alain, lost the D in the agency’s initials.
With the departure of Yves Domergue, I have a moving memory of Alain Domergue who replaced the father I lost too young.
Even today, within NIMOS Design, my projects live with the team spirit of MBD Design, and all the humanity of Jean-Claude Marbach the M of M.B.D.
With the departure of Yves Domergue, our thoughts are with all those who knew and appreciated him, with the entire design community in mourning, and with all the good products that now belong to our heritage.
Frédéric Simon – Nimos Design.
Yves Domergue, pioneer of railway design, has died – 1941 – 2022.
by AAEENSAD
Yves Domergue is part of the very first generation of industrial designers trained at the Arts Déco in Roger Tallon’s studio from which he graduated in 1966.
“With him, we learned to innovate. He would tell us, ‘Bring me ideas. He would organize barbecue contests, for example. The students would come up with twenty-five barbecues, each more absurd than the last. And in the middle, one or two would stand out,” he says of Roger Tallon.
In a country with “the most outstanding engineering caste in the world”, the beginnings of the profession are difficult. “At cocktail parties, when I said that I had graduated from Ensad, people would reply: “Ah, the customs school?
Domergue began his career with a display for the sponge manufacturer Facel. Others follow for Beaulieu Super 8 cameras and Nikon cameras, a Japanese brand just established in France.
In 1972, he founded MBD Design with his brother Alain, an engineer, and three other associates, based on the concept of a global design agency: graphic design, product design, environmental design.
In these three areas, the agency has achieved great success, meeting the needs of the emerging retail industry, establishing itself with major brands, and introducing the industry to design. It has won numerous awards and prizes and has become an internationally recognized leader in the field of public transportation.
In 1974, MBD participated in the design competition for an ultra-fast train, the future TGV, inaugurated in 1981. The SNCF asked the public to vote, and Roger Tallon, who had become Yves Domergue’s rival, won.
Over the years, MBD has designed many products, but especially trains and streetcars for the whole world.
In 1995-96, the team began the renovation of the Corail, designed twenty years earlier by Tallon, and renamed Téoz. Yves Domergue breaks the corridor effect to create more intimate spaces. Nearly thirty years later, some of these trains still run under the name of Intercités.
The Marseille tramway remains Yves Domergue’s greatest pride. With its bow evoking “the bow of a ship”, its “large windows” opening “on the Mediterranean blue”, its “interior louvers” protecting from the sun and its wooden seats, it achieves “the balance between aesthetics, comfort, technology and use”.
In 2007, after he “signed” the TGV Sud-Est with Christian Lacroix, Yves Domergue transferred his agency and became involved in teaching. At Ensaama – Olivier de Serres, he created a design course based on his professional experience.
In 2017 appears, Confidences de designerthe story, told with simplicity, of thirty years of daily experience: the competition for the first TGV, the photocopiers that he was asked to design without ever making them, or the visual identity of a chocolate brand.
For nearly 20 years, until his resignation in 2014, Yves Domergue sat on the board of directors of AAE-EnsAD and participated in the animation of the Alumni Association.
