European Design Festival 2009

Despite the financial crunch, European Design continues to grow and expand. After the two first events in Athens and Stockholm, Zurich was the host of the third edition of what is now called the “European Design Festival” which is organized with the endorsement of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda).

Apart the trademark three-day conference and the awards ceremony, this year’s events included various exhibitions, a lecture by the iconic book designer Irma Boom (both organized by the Zurich Design Museum), design walks, a VIP tour of the Google headquarters and a party to wrap everything up in style.

Next year, Rotterdam will host the events, which will be endorsed by the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) and organized with the support of the City of Rotterdam.
