스위스 연방 문화부 Switzerland’s Federal Office of Culture는 2007년부터 스위스 디자인의 명성을 국내외에 알리는 데 기여한 디자이너나 디자인 회사에 스위스 디자인 대상 Swiss Grand Award for Design을 수여하고 있습니다. 이 상은 스위스 디자인계를 격려하고 지원하며 궁극적으로 영예를 기리기 위한 수단으로 시작되었으며 스위스 디자인의 전통을 전달하고 나타냅니다.
스위스 디자인 대상을 수여하며 출간된 책 『Swiss Grand Award for Design 2023』은 수상자인 에티엔 델레서트 Etienne Delessert, 엘레오노레 페두치 리바 Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, 샹탈 프로드홈 Chantal Prod’Hom의 인터뷰와 아카이브 이미지, 그리고 간략한 약력을 통해 각자를 소개합니다.
Etienne Delessert, born in Lausanne in 1941 and based in Lakeville, Connecticut, made his name as a graphic designer and illustrator in Paris and New York with advertising campaigns and posters, and later gained wide renown for his illustrations, animated films, and paintings. He has illustrated more than 80 books, all of which have become worldwide successes.
Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, born in Basel in 1936, worked as a designer and design consultant for major brands such as Cassina, Artemide, and De Sede. The DS-600 modular sofa of 1972, created in collaboration with Ueli Berger, Heinz Ulrich, and Klaus Vogt, is an expression of her goal to enable people to design their personal habitat.
Chantal Prod’Hom, also born in Lausanne in 1957, founded the Asher Edelman Foundation in the 1990s, where she staged visionary exhibitions featuring little-known artists, and traveled the world in search of design talent for Benetton’s famous Fabrica. Between 2000 and 2022, she directed her native city’s Musée cantonal de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains (mudac). Through her tireless commitment, she shapes and fosters public perception of design.
Switzerland’s Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2023 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Etienne Delessert, Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, and Chantal Prod’Hom. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and an interview, as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.
