How about biding your time while discovering and trying out outstanding Swiss design at the same time? The Swiss Design Lounge at our newly refurbished main building on Ausstellungsstrasse now offers visitors first-hand experience of re-edited Swiss furniture classics as well as of contemporary designs.

The compact selection of armchairs, stools, tables, sideboards, lamps, carpets, and curtains also illustrates the historical range between standard furniture and living spaces, functionality, and creative drive. Overlooking the local park, the light-flooded space extends a warm welcome to visitors, whether they wish to hold meetings or chat, browse through the museum’s publications or simply relax on a sofa or daybed and recover from everyday stress.

The Swiss Design Lounge is closed due to the set up of the Mode Suisse on Sunday, 2 September.
