Playfully Rigid
This colourful anthology of Swiss architecture, graphic and product design from 1950 to 2006 demonstrates that clarity and wit are not opposites, but a uniquely Swiss pairing. Covering three design disciplines, multiple regions and over fifty years of creativity, the nearly 100 featured works reveal a shared culture of ideas – not a parade of “masterpieces,” but a celebration of playful invention and the bold clients who embraced it. A kaleidoscopic portrait of a design culture that is anything but purely correct and sober.
