Tribute to Jean-Charles Gaté

Jean-Charles Gaté is dead this month.
His name should be known only by French designers as he was the founder of DesignFax, yes a weekly fax about design news, with real design inside and not decoration neither star system. And job offers.

I never met him but he has been the first (and only french design media) to announce my international prize at the Paris Autoshow in 2006. The office I was working for wasn't registered so that's a friend that called to felicitate me who taught me I was in the edition.

His main work will survive as someone esle took over for a few moths, as the fax is now a e-mail and the number of pages has been adaptated. DesignFax will stay a reference for a while.
