Next month there will be the second edition of the SALON DU DESIGN in Geneva. The Design fair supports quality mid century design. For the new edition, that will take place on the weekend of 3-4 November 2018 at the Pavillon Sicli, Corine Stübi, co-founder of Kissthedesign Gallery and organiser of the fair, selected around thirty exhibitors from all over Switzerland and Europe.
This year, vintage design lovers and picky collectors alike will have the chance to enjoy a wider range of original 20th century pieces, but also to experience a more international shopping thanks to the participation of new Dutch, Italian, German and French exhibitors. For the rst time, the two oors of the Sicli Pavilion will be deco- rated with amazing nds from the 1910’s to 1980’s.

Corine Stübi is the organizer. Her passion for Design and furniture brings her to create crossroads between design lovers and great artists. Being the co-founder of kissthedesign in Lausanne, she felt there was a need for a more personal event, away from the over-dimensioned international design fairs. Design is about passion and we need places where passionate people can meet and share what they love.
Le Salon du Design is also about promoting a human-sized and reassuring event, where curatorial work has already been done, with only the most established brands on the Swiss market, as well as the best European addresses. Indeed, only professionals specialized in 20th century design were invited.
In this second edition, there will be new things to be discovered. First of all: more brands and exhibitors. Ten stands more than in the previous year. There will be more countries represented by talented people and as special guest: the MUDAC, the Lausanne Design Museum will present an exhibition about Bauhaus.
