Design Retreat 2025

The Design Retreat offers emerging talents in the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni, and members of the DPS commu­nity of all ages the oppor­tu­nity to take conscious time, offline, over several days in a unique setting to reflect on their own projects and working methods. Experts provide exciting insights on topics such as circular design, inno­va­tion, and strate­gies for struc­turing daily work into a sustain­able and healthy “work­flow.” Exclu­sive food design insights create a concep­tual bridge between circular economy, produc­tivity, sustain­able consump­tion, and design.

The Design Retreat gener­ates value on multiple levels:

Knowl­edge Transfer: It promotes the exchange of knowl­edge on topics such as circular design, inno­va­tion, and food design.
Reflec­tion and Work Culture: Discus­sions about indi­vidual projects and the estab­lish­ment of a healthy work culture lead to new insights.
Networking: The shared expe­ri­ence of the new Design Retreat format sustain­ably expands the network among talents in the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni, and experts from various design disci­plines.
