Etienne Delessert  born in Lausanne in 1941 and based in Lakeville  Connecticut  made his name
as a graphic designer and illustrator in Paris and New York with advertising campaigns and
posters  and later gained wide renown for his illustrations  animated films  and paintings. He
has illustrated more than 80 books  all of which have become worldwide successes.   Eleonore
Peduzzi Riva  born in Basel in 1936  worked as a designer and design consultant for major
brands such as Cassina  Artemide  and De Sede. The DS-600 modular sofa of 1972  created in
collaboration with Ueli Berger  Heinz Ulrich  and Klaus Vogt  is an expression of her goal to
enable people to design their personal habitat.   Chantal Prod'Hom  also born in Lausanne in
1957  founded the Asher Edelman Foundation in the 1990s  where she staged visionary exhibitions
featuring little-known artists  and traveled the world in search of design talent for
Benetton's famous Fabrica. Between 2000 and 2022  she directed her native city's Musée cantonal
de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains (mudac). Through her tireless commitment  she
shapes and fosters public perception of design.   Switzerland's Federal Office of Culture has
awarded the 2023 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Etienne Delessert  Eleonore Peduzzi Riva  and
Chantal Prod'Hom. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and an interview  as
well as a brief biography  illustrated with images from their archives.
