Who We Are
The Swiss Design Association is the competence center for comprehensive knowledge transfer in the design industry in Switzerland. The association represents the interests of those professionally involved in design. We define design as a comprehensive, integrated development and creation process. A forward-looking process that is focused on the needs of the users of services, products, spaces, systems or processes and generates added societal, economical and cultural value.
What We Do
The SDA unites all those involved in the design process who share this understanding. We support our members in content-related, legal and entrepreneurial issues, promote internal networking and facilitate the exchange between national and international players from the fields of business, education, politics and culture.
