ECAL designs the Swiss Parliament's new series of gifts

Published

These products, inspired by typically Swiss symbols, were entirely designed and developed in Switzerland thanks to the collaboration of excellent local partners.


From design to development, including the search for the best suppliers and the development of the product packaging, the institution has invested a great deal of passion in this highly formative project for its students. Through these exclusive objects, the ECAL is proud to be able to help promote Switzerland's image abroad.
