The book is dedicated to the cooperative tradition of furniture, which cultivates a responsible and forward-looking approach to values. The promotion of art and culture is of central importance, as the innovative power of art provides important impulses for future processes. Mobiliar works specifically with art and culture professionals to bring lateral thinking and creativity into the sustainability debate. Experience shows that the combination of responsibility and creativity holds the potential for innovation. The formula V + K = I represents this interaction and is actively implemented. Co-creation and participation are key drivers.

Curiosity

In this publication, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the PIX MOBILIÈRE art awards, we have linked different areas dealing with sustainable, creative and responsible processes. The book shows a cross-section of the Swiss art scene, methods developed to promote companies in Switzerland, the handling of furniture with art, employees of furniture and their connection to art in the world of work, and finally a Swiss art project by George Steinmann. The concept is characterised by activity, curiosity and a lot of commitment. The lively design makes the book a craft, a reading book and a source of inspiration.

CHANGE

The design of the book in close collaboration with Dorothea Strauss and Studio Achermannresulted in a lively object that serves to further develop and deepen in order to actively explore and exploit the opportunities of constant change in society, technology, economy, culture and ecology.
