With the Design Switzerland exhibition at this year’s Milano Design Week, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia is presenting nine of Switzerland’s most promising up-and-coming design studios.
Is the first time at the world’s most important design fair the representatives of the Swiss design scene are united under a single roof the House of Switzerland in Casa Degli Artisti (Brera).
A lot awaits to be discovered there, ranging from an intelligent coffee roasting machine to furnishings made of brewery waste.

The context for the exhibition is in the ceiling designed by iiode. The proposal is made entirely of recyclable materials, and using light as a medium, Design Switzerland’s Living Spaces exhibition design is a multi-sensory invitation to get together and lounge at the iconic artist hub ‘Casa degli Artisti’ in Milan’s Brera Design District
Description of project by iiode
The Lausanne-based digital research studio iiode have completed the design and art direction of this year’s Design Switzerland’s Living Spaces exhibition at Milan Design Week. Using light and texture as a medium, the exhibition is a multi-sensory experience aimed to evoke feelings of empathy and well-being.
The showcase features a giant inflatable luminaire suspended in the ceiling of the centenary building, and honeycomb cardboard-constructed exhibition displays and seating — all entirely recyclable and to be given another life after the exhibition closes.
The design of Living Spaces is intended as a temporary lounge where the public is invited to slow down, providing a rare opportunity to pause in the bustling Brera Design District.
Showcasing the work of 9 emerging Swiss practices tackling themes of inclusivity, fairness, sustainability, and equitability, the space is organized into a series of intimate seating areas where visitors are invited to relax and engage with the pieces on show. The materials used to construct the exhibition, combined with the pieces on show, question the ideas of time and presence and together present a space for living where new conversations can emerge.
Living Spaces is part of Design Switzerland and is presented by the Swiss Arts Council and Pro Helvetia.

iiode is a Lausanne-based design and research office founded in 2020 by Jean Besson, Jonathan Mauloubier, Patrick Morris and Lucas Uhlmann.
The studio provides concept and design services for lighting, environments, mediation and technologies. Gathering people and knowledge around a core team, they develop and produce components, objects, and installations with a conscious supply chain mainly using controllable light sources as material.
Their research focus is the encoding and transmission of information by designed methods to create emotional, multi-sensory experiences. Some of the research outcomes become products and are assembled with the intent of being reused in their next projects.
