Design Retreat 2024

The Design Prize Switzer­land (DPS), the Zurich Silk Industry Society (ZSIG) and Pro Helvetia invite you to the Design Retreat at Sutra House in Basel from 23 to 26 May 2024.

The Design Retreat offers emerging talents from the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni and the DPS commu­nity of all ages the oppor­tu­nity to consciously take time to reflect together on their own projects and working methods at a special loca­tion over several days. Experts will offer exciting input on the topics of circular design and inno­va­tion as well as strate­gies on how to sustain­ably organise everyday work into a healthy work­flow. Exclu­sive food design insights will bridge the gap between the circular economy, produc­tivity, sustain­able consump­tion and design. The find­ings of the retreat are inter­nalised in a joint project on site. The Design Retreat thus creates added value on
different levels:

  • The transfer of knowl­edge around the topics of circular design, inno­va­tion and food design is promoted.
  • Discussing your own projects and estab­lishing a healthy working culture leads to new insights.
  • The shared expe­ri­ence of the new Design Retreat format sustain­ably expands the network between talents from the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni and experts from various design disci­plines.
