Form#1 FormSWISS

デザイン的視点を基軸に、世界各国の多様な価値観や日本との相違点を様々なメディアや展示、教育活動を通じて発信する、新しい形のグローバルデザインプラットフォーム「Form（フォーム）」が立ち上げた出版社「FormBOOK（フォーム・ブック）」初の書籍。

#1はスイスにフォーカスし、Form主宰のデザイナー、丸山新が自らのリサーチを基に、現地にひとりで赴き取材から撮影まで行った「スイスデザインのいま」を紐解くにふさわしい、スイスの小さな村や街に暮らしながらも世界のデザイン界に影響を与えているデザイナーや教育機関の名が並ぶ。

これからのデザイナーのあるべき姿やデザイン教育、また彼らのワークライフバランスに至るまで、表層的、装飾的ではない、デザインの本質に迫り、より良い未来のあり方を一緒に探る一冊となっている。

Focusing on Switzerland, #1 features the names of designers and educational institutions that live in small Swiss villages and towns but are making an impact on the world of design, and is suitable for unravelling "Swiss Design Today".
