The Office brings together contemporary designers and architects from Switzerland and beyond to celebrate and promote interdisciplinary and experimental creative work. From the ready-made and playful to the technical and minimalist, each work on display foregrounds objects and furniture pieces that transcend functionality and exemplify vision and exploratory processes. Alluding to the changing role of the office from a space with standardised fit-outs to a more hybrid and social space, this year’s exhibition exemplifies the search for alternatives and counter-strategies that respond to rapidly shifting realities.

THE OFFICE is a project by RAW SENSES - a collective endeavour organised in collaboration with Hot Wire Extension (Fabio Hendry), Kairos Studios (Sebastian Vargas), Villa Nomad (Sarah Quan) and Second Nature Projects (Giovanna Lisignoli) on the occasion of Zürich Design Weeks 2023.
