Swiss Design Awards

At the Museum Bellerive, Alain Berset presents the Swiss Design Awards for the first time, including three “Grand Prix Design”: Franco Clivio, the studio Gavillet & Rust and Karl Gerstner.

He speaks of an “Aladdin’s cave” and defends the Confederation’s model for promoting design, a field in which, unlike others, cities and cantons are little involved.
