Fashion designer Lucie Meier, photographer and film producer Luciano Rigolini and designer Paola De Martin will be awarded the Grand Prix Design 2024. This was announced by the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) on Thursday.
Lucie Meier and her husband are the creative minds behind fashion house Jil Sander. Away from fast-moving fashion trends, she lends fashion "meaning and beauty", wrote the BAK.
Luciano Rigolini from Ticino moves professionally between photography and film. For example, he was jointly responsible for auteur films at the cultural channel Arte. He has also produced films. He teaches film and photography at various universities.
Designer and design researcher Paola De Martin from Zurich comes from a migrant working-class family. Her research is informed by her experiences. She teaches at design universities and co-founded the fashion label Beige.
The Grand Prix Design is endowed with CHF 40,000 each. It will be awarded in Basel in mid-June.
