During the Orgatec fair in Köln I was offered, by a Ruckstuhl sales representative, two free entrance tickets for the Designers' Saturday exhibition in Swiss. As I never had been at this biennial occasion before and had heard often positive stories about it, it felt as a good decision to make the trip to Langenthal.
Designers Saturday is an event organized by five major firms based in Langenthal. On the premises of these firms as well collections of international known firms as work of design students are shown in an experience like set up.
It is a very well organized, professional event with an informal relaxed and warm welcome feel. Plenty of good food, drinks and even life music create a lively atmosphere. The fact that one can enter the factory, in some locations even witness parts of the production process, makes this happening quiet special. There are of course some obligatory safety precautions but it doesn't feel like you are held at a distance, you are really inside, experiencing the atmosphere of a major industrial production site.
Some pictures to give an impression...
