Swiss designs
Posters, chairs, books, shelves and woven pieces ... more than 200 fine examples of creativity are on show at Swiss Design Classics, an exhibition in Beijing that opens people's eyes and hearts to the evolution of Swiss design spanning four centuries. The show runs until Jan 12 at the Today Art Museum.
The exhibition is a celebration of the country's inventive forces, from daily apparatuses to the industries of engineering and medical applications. It steers the audience through a journey of groundbreaking research and practices that have changed the lives of people in Switzerland and around the world.
