What comes to mind when you think of Switzerland? The Alps, the Swiss chocolates, watches and knives?
Showcased at an exhibition 'Criss+Cross, Designs from Switzerland 1860-2007' are products that reflect how engineers and designers collaborate in the world of design, in fashion or in the creation of common utility products. Criss+Cross links the variety of today's products with the rich tradition of Swiss design.
Some of the interesting exhibits include a camera that fits in your palm, various types of ski boots, an onion chopper designed in 1953, a toaster designed in 1930 and of course the famous Toblerone chocolate that is in its 100th year. Paisley cloth from Glaus manufactured in 1860 is also on display.
Incidentally, the exhibition coincides with 60th year of the Ind0-Swiss Friendship Treaty.
The exhibits are categorised into sequels such as Small and Beautiful, The Tiny Helpers, Up to the Mountains, A Visual Statement and Library.
