Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron established their office in Basel in 1978. Since then the company has grown and at the moment an international team of about 40 Associates and 380 collaborators is working on projects across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Their 2011 design for the Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion in London marked the twelfth contribution to Kensington Gardens. For this project, Herzog & de Meuron collaborated with artist Ai Weiwei to create an archaeological pavilion rooted in the idea of memory.

Kevin Fries and Jakob Zumbühl have been collaborating since their time studying at the Zurich University of the Arts and have been partners in the development and realization for numerous design projects since 2003. Their design success comes from their incorporation of each designer’s different way of thinking and working, combined with their mutual interests and design backgrounds. Their ‘Link’ chairs and couches won the prestigious Red Dot Product Award in 2012. Their functional and humorous design ‘Error’, a mute wallet stand (for MOX design) also won the Interior Innovation Award in 2013.

Young, interdisciplinary designer Nicolas Le Moigne creates works across lighting, furniture, and product design and his designs are simultaneously delicate, organic, robust and industrial whilst retaining a true sense of sophistication. This innovative approach has brought Le Moigne to the attention of international design galleries and manufacturers, including Atelier Pfister and Eternit. Collaboration with the latter, a fiber cement company, resulted in the Trash Cubes designs; the series of stools use leftover cement and fibers and are designed to have the most basic form whilst using the maximum amount of waste material.

Adrien Rovero works across furniture, lighting and exhibition design and opened his own studio in Renens in 2006. Rovero not only creates works for high-end design brands but also has his designs displayed at international galleries. The Saving Grace design (for Droog), a series of lamps designed specifically for energy-saving light bulbs, takes advantage of the different quality of light provided by the technology, shaped to diffuse the light in specific ways.
