Prize Giving Cere­mony

What do surgical tools for heart surgery, rethought fashion for people in wheel­chairs or a bean-to-bar choco­late project have 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. The winners will be announced on 3 November at the Prize Giving Cere­mony in Langenthal’s Mark­thalle.
