Until Sunday, 21 June, visitors to the Swiss Design Awards 2015 in Basel can watch the three short films portraying this year’s Grand Award for Design winners : the photographer Luc Chessex, the graphic designer Lora Lamm and Team’77, composed of the typographers Erich Gschwind, André Gürtler and Christian Mengelt.  The Federal Design Commission’s choice highlights the pioneering achievements and the outstanding lifetime achievements of the winners. They have been decisive in stimulating creativity in Switzerland:

The development of the legendary font Haas Unica is an epoch-making contribution by Team’77 to typography, which extends far beyond the country’s borders.

Lora Lamm’s innovative graphic design in Milan in the 1950s and 1960s influenced an entire generation and has lost none of its freshness.

Luc Chessex’s photographs of the Cuban Revolution are an historical documentation with inestimable value. His photographic reflections on power and truth in photography affect the current debate in this medium.

Here we share the sneak peek trailer…
