Breathe With Me: An Immersive Experience of Swiss Design

May 17, 2024, 12:00 pm - May 23, 2024, 7:00 pm

Enter “Breathe with Me,” an immersive installation contextualized by award-winning Swiss experience designer Annabelle Schneider. Presented by the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York, this multi-sensorial space features new and iconic design by LAUFEN, Luft & Laune, PIEGA, PIN–UP HOME, Schaffner, Studio Christian Wassmann, Tisca, USM Modular Furniture, Vitra and 4Spaces ZigZagZurich at WSA, the cutting-edge cultural hub in Downtown Manhattan.

Breathable textiles synchronized with contemplative sounds and soft furnishings are carefully crafted to positively impact body and mind.
