Swiss Design Awards at WantedDesign NYC

THURSDAY, MAY 16 - MONDAY, MAY 20

Join us at WantedDesign as we team up with the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York and the Federal Office of Culture – Switzerland to present a new exhibition by one of the most talented up-and-coming Swiss designers. The exhibition Shelter Fallout revolves around the project by Swiss designer Iskander Guetta Abri+ (Shelter+), which he created in 2018 as his master’s thesis in Industrial Design at ECAL, the Lausanne University of Art and Design in Switzerland. Abri+ responds to the need for privacy and human dignity in the often challenging and crammed living conditions in shelters hosting migrants, asylum seekers and homeless people.
