Functional Beauty – Design from Switzerland
Switzerland is a small country in the middle of Europe. It is surrounded by big neighbours, and its centre consists largely of mountains. But there is more to Switzerland than just mountains, chocolate, watches and army knives. For about one hundred years there has been a growing and lively design community. The country’s only raw material is water, and this is why the Swiss economy started concentrating on export very early. This was made possible due to high quality and niche products. The talk will give a quick overview of Swiss design.
