admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:59:12 +0000

A Celebration of Swiss design culture is being exhibited at the A Foundation in London, showcasing 22 young designers and design studios presenting cutting edge aesthetic innovation from Switzerland.

The exhibition features the work of twelve of Switzerland’s most talented young designers: Laurent Benner, Alexandre Bettler, Kueng Caputo, Zak Kyes, Jurg Lehni, Urs Lehni & Lex Trub, Loris & Livia, Elena Rendina and Regis Tosetti. In a continuation of an exceptional heritage, these forward thinking designers produce innovative, fresh ways of working, creating projects that move across disciplines; by making furniture, designing books and organizing events. On display will be a range of exceptional objects.

Plus the exhibition will explore how Switzerland‘s identity has changed through the decades and concentrating on the key design periods that were pivotal in Swiss poster art. For decades, the Swiss created beautiful illustrated posters for their tourism industry, such as Emil Cardinaux’s Mattherhorn 1908. The exhibition will display 10 of these most influential and striking Vintage posters alongside 10 newly created works. Ten Swiss graphic designers will present their contemporary interpretation of a Swiss travel poster for today.
