Benzin: Young Swiss Graphic Design Author: Michel Fries & Thomas Bruggisser. Introduction by Martin Heller.
Benzin features the current state of Swiss design. With designers like Norm, M�ller+Hess, Lineto, Martin Woodtli, B�ro Destruct, Elektrosmog to name a few� this book is a must for anyone into modern Swiss Design. Includes many illustrations and interviews with the designers.
No other region of the world currently has such a high concentration of top-quality graphic design as Switzerland. Traditionally understated, Swiss design is now creating an international sensation as young designers successfully combine radical approaches to design with unerring lightness of touch, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their use of forms is often reduced, which also meets the standards for use on the Internet and enhances the international reputation of Swiss design.
Benzin reviews the work of the most talented of the younger generation of Swiss designers. The book strikingly shows how local scenes can shape developments in design despite globalization. This is an essential compendium for graphic designers and anyone with an interest in the media.
