Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt)'s Bakalar & Paine Galleries present EXCELLENT SWISS DESIGN from September 10-November 22, 2014.  EXCELLENT SWISS DESIGN is a celebration of ingenuity and sustainability featuring contemporary design in the areas of communication, fashion, furniture, interior, product and textile design.  This exhibition is free and open to the public.

EXCELLENT SWISS DESIGN features selections from the Design Prize Switzerland, a biennial award that for 12 years has recognized advancements in the areas of communication, fashion, furniture, interior, product and textile design.  This exhibition showcases innovative projects, from laser-engraved textiles to a faucet that reduces water consumption by 90% to a running show that reimagines impact through a hollow-core sole.  This exhibition is held in collaboration with swissnex Boston and is travelling from DWELL on Dsign LA, America's largest design event organized by Dwell Magazine.
