Inspiring living environments, unconventional installations, surprising discoveries. Until 19 November 2017, the ninth edition of neue räume international interior design exhibition, which has firmly established itself in the international design calendar, will be opening its doors. In addition to established formats like young labels and neue räume in the city, there are many new projects focusing on interior design: in the Designers’ Talk installation, for example, eight renowned Swiss designers provide insights into their work, as well as thoughts on what Swiss Design may mean today. Demonstrating what the world of work will look like tomorrow, staff from the Qwstion bag label moves into a pop-up office for the duration of the trade fair. The office space is constructed from the new and multi-functional Moving Walls components. With its unconventional chair installation, Höhere Fachschule für Technik und Gestaltung Zug certainly attracts a great deal of attention. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts represents, too, showing pieces relating to Design & Art. With Hiver Japonais, atelier oï once again presents a very poetic installation and, in the ABB Hall, CH-Gruppe celebrates the launch of the new designobjekt.ch webshop. Once again, over 8000 square metres, the latest trends in interior design are shown in the ABB Hall in Zurich. More than 100 Swiss and international exhibitors are taking part in the ninth edition of the design show, including US manufacturer Herman Miller, who came to Zurich for the first time showing new versions of George Nelson’s legendary Bubble Lamp. Among others, there is also Electrolux with customised luxury kitchens by Grand Cuisine, Scandinavian design by Menu, the innovative furniture and lighting brand madetostay with a new design by Carsten Jörgensen, long-established Dutch company Leolux with its new Pode label and the German furniture manufacturer KFF. This year, there is a particular focus on “Design made in Switzerland”: in a special show, renowned Swiss designers are presenting controversial and surprising positions in relation to current and future challenges for Swiss Design. Additionally, the top Swiss furniture manufacturers are introducing designobjekt.ch, an online portal they conceived and developed together.
