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.

The exhibition pays tribute to Max Bill, an influential Swiss artist, architect and designer, by displaying his works of furniture, posters and prints of limited editions. A section of the show is dedicated to the winners of the annual Most Beautiful Swiss Books competition.

The exhibition marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Switzerland in 2025. It will later tour Nanjing, Jiangsu province; Shenzhen, Guangdong province; and Shanghai.
