Davide Fornari and Cornel Windlin

Cornel Windlin (graphic and type designer) and Davide Fornari (Head of R&D department, ECAL and member of the Federal Design Design Commission) share a passion for working with archives. They exchange views on the powerful discoveries they made from dusty boxes and the potential that lies in online and physical documentation. Reflecting on “Failure Is Not an Option?”, the theme of the Swiss Design Awards 2020’s online program, they discuss specific examples relating to the work of designers and institutions.
