Discover the Nomi­nees

29 of a total of 250 projects submitted for this year’s Design Preis Schweiz have been nomi­nated: refreshing and inno­v­a­tive contri­bu­tions to different areas of design. On 1 September, the nomi­nated projects of Edition 23 can be discov­ered at close quar­ters during the Zurich Design Weeks. ben surgical tools for heart surgery, newly conceived fashion for people in wheel­chairs or a bean-to-bar choco­late project all have some­thing in common? They all have to do with design, i.e. with the concep­tual idea of how new prod­ucts and projects can improve people’s lives. For a long time now, the concept of design has not only encom­passed beau­tiful, good form, but is under­stood in a broader and more contem­po­rary way. This is also shown by the two new award cate­gories, Inclu­sive Design and Food Design, which Design Preis Schweiz has launched with this year’s edition.
