Seven Swiss design studios partnered with seven specialist industrial manufacturers, each with niche knowledge of a particular field, for In-between: The Utopia of the Neutral - a project that reflected upon cultural identity, design tradition and exchange of knowledge. It was an interpretation that drew on Switzerland's traditions of political neutrality and Swiss design history, and led to experimental collaborations that demand 'speculation, fluidity and dialogue'. Against a perception of the neutral as the hidden, static or indifferent, the project imagined the 'in-between' as a fundamental space to probe neutrality as a catalyst for movement.
