Dimitri Bähler (1988*) lives and works in Biel, Switzerland.

After graduating from ECAL, Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne, Dimitri Bähler established his design studio in 2014.

Deeply influenced by his practical experiences—particularly through workshops and residencies around the world—his work is defined by a continual pursuit of balance between simplicity and sophistication, pragmatism and poetics, research and spontaneity.

His achievements include prestigious awards such as the Interieur Awards Grand Prize in Kortrijk (2016) and the Swiss Design Award (2023). His work has been exhibited on four continents and is part of permanent collections at cultural institutions such as MUDAC in Lausanne (CH), the Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich (CH), and the Grand Hornu in Boussu (BE).

Bähler’s work is often described as spontaneous, understated, radical yet poetic—always underpinned by extensive applied research. From mass-produced objects for international brands to unique pieces and installations, he consistently explores the intersection between handmade and industrial production, sharpening our perception of materiality, form, and utility.
