The winners of the Swiss Crafts Awards

The first winners were unveiled yesterday

The award ceremony last Friday, as part of artgenève, was for me a joyous illustration of the liveliness and influence of crafts in Switzerland.

Congratulations to our laureates whose personalities gave their warm color to this ceremony which I am unanimously told was beautiful and moving. And congratulations to Pierre-Yves Borgeaud whose video portraits, very noticed, perfectly knew how to pay tribute to the talents of the day. Thank you to the members of our jury whose choices were also welcomed.
