Design meets fashion. Within the context of a combined exhibition, Design Days enables fashion creators and dress designers to come together with architectural designers and interior decorators and show off their creations to the public and the trade.

The famous Swiss watch brand is today renewing this privileged link with the world of contemporary design. In its capacity as main partner, it is presenting the Design Days Exhibition, organized for the third consecutive year by the “edelweiss” and “Espaces Contemporains” magazines, from 17 to 20 September 2009 in the “Quartier des Bains” of Geneva.

The “Radostar Airbags” exhibition, presented in collaboration with Adrien Rovero will display the works of 11 young designers, who have published their work on the radostar.com platform. As a little ‘extra’, the laureates will be present at the inaugural evening, which is to take place on 17 September 2009. Specially conceived for Design Days Geneva, this exhibition demonstrates once again the ongoing commitment of the Brand, ready to support and promote young creative talent all over the world.
