Sumario:In this paper we analyze the Open Mount project, which represented Argentina at the third London Design Biennale with thepurpose of knowing the relationships established between Crafts, Design and Art. We analyze the installation from the Semioticperspective (Peirce) as a dynamic sign that acquires different levels of meaning. And from the socio-semiotic perspective (Verón 1993) as a significant configuration that contains traces that account for its production conditions and its effects. Open Monte was designed by Cristián Mohaded with the purpose of putting design in dialogue with craftsmanship, making the craftsmanship of Lorenzo Reyes visible. The raw material of this installation is the "simbol", a weed that grows naturally in the mountains of Catamarca. Our hypothesis is that the design constitutes a device destined to value the craft through aestheticization operations.
