Applied Utopia – Swiss Design Awards 2024

For NCCFN's immersive exhibition “Applied Utopia” at the Swiss Design Awards 2024, Bonsma & Reist designed an accompanying publication in the form of a 16-page newspaper.

The newspaper shows text and image content from NCCFN's original exhibition "Applied Utopia" at the Zeughaus Teufen in 2023. The texts are presented in maximum size and visually refer to a Manifesto. The images are placed as full spreads and can be taken out of the newspaper as individual sheets, to be used as posters.

The newspaper was integrated into the exhibition scenography and could be picked up for free during the exhibition. Therefore the newspaper and its content travelled beyond the one-week exhibition and can further be used as documentation and for the promotion of “Applied Utopia”.

The newspaper and the exhibition were well received. NCCFN won the Design Award 2024 in the Category Mediation and Scenography. Congratulations!
