Over 200 Swiss Experimental Films Debut in New York Exhibition
Opening on May 15 in New York, "Frame in Frame – Swiss Design in Motion" marks the inaugural U.S. showcase of over 200 rediscovered experimental films from Switzerland, spanning the 1960s to the 1990s. This exhibition presents a unique spatial installation where film, lighting, and furniture merge into a cohesive experience. Originating from the Basel School of Design, these films push the boundaries of Swiss graphic design concepts—such as grid, modularity, and typography—into the realm of motion design. Flexible seating designed by Panter&Tourron creates an adaptable environment. The event will feature walkthroughs, screenings, and a panel discussion focused on structural thinking within Swiss Style.
