“Les Suisses de Paris” is a graphic design/typography exhibit (Zürich)

When it comes to graphic design, the Swiss have gone famous on an international level.

Partly to blame for it are a number of important Swiss graphic designers and typographers that reached a peak in their careers at the time they were living in Paris. Their modern education and know-how, combined with the exciting work environment of the French capital, resulted in innovative works that still reflect on the graphic design scene nowadays.

Les Suisses de Paris showcases works of 22 Swiss designers – expats in Paris – in such areas as photography, film, advertising graphics, corporate design, typography, type design and others.

There are public guided tours in German on Jan 11 and 25, as well as on Feb 1, 15 and 22. (Included in the museum admission, no advance registration required.)
