About this book

Michel Fries & Thomas Bruggisser voyage through Switzerland in search of a new generation of young Swiss graphic designers. What they find is a Swiss design scene as "hip" as anything in London or Berlin. Influenced by the famous "Swiss School" of the 1950s & 60s, young Swiss designers today still hold concept & structure as functional beliefs, allowing artistic freedom in counterbalance to the service aspects of design. Beautifully designed by the editors, Benzin is itself a statement on these theoretical questions. It includes detailed portrayals of twelve selected studios & images from 36 other designers making it a great sourcebook for anyone interested in graphic design today.
