Tick My Box & Yad Cheri’s Geneva Pop-up Celebrated Craftmanship and Artisans

In an age where consumption and commerce have lost their personal touch, it is rare to find attachment to designers and truly appreciate the care and exceptional craft that goes into making luxury goods. It is for this reason that Tick My Box and Yad Cheri partnered for an exclusive pop-up week in Geneva celebrating select designers, their craft, and artisanship. The weeklong event in March 2019 kicked off with a press conference and a pre-launch dinner and showcased different designers and workshops throughout the week.

The pop-event event featured eight young designers, among them special guest Philippe Cramer, Swiss designer of furniture, ceramics, and jewelry. Cramer is known for incorporating industrial techniques and traditional noble materials in his handmade objects. Giobagnara, the Genoa-based family business specializing in fine leather goods and furniture, was another stunning feature at the event.

Valentine Herrenschmidt’s poetic messages expressed through brass thread sculptures shined with their elegant simplicity (see article feature image!)

Designers filled Geneva with the finest art and handmade crafts during pop-up week, creating a unique experience uniting designers and artisans. As Tick My Box continues on its mission, it will create an even bigger platform and inspire the recreation of the concept around the world. And with e-tailers like Yad Cheri promoting and selling handcrafted products, the artisanal movement continues to grow!
