Graphic designer Anna Monika Jost, born in 1944, has worked for major companies such as Olivetti, FIAT, the French department store chain Prisunic, and SNCF. Bold use of color and the stylistic openness that shaped her time are hallmarks of her work, which is as significant as it is fascinating, and due to be rediscovered.

Bruno Monguzzi, born in 1941, is one of Switzerland's foremost graphic designers, enjoying worldwide acclaim. His work is characterized by clarity, precision, and a deep understanding of Gestalt psychology. His clients include companies such as Olivetti and IBM as well as institutions such as the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. He has left his mark on Swiss graphic design also as a teacher and curator.

Artist Batia Suter, born in 1967, is famous for large-format image montages and experimental printing techniques. She combines scientific and popular pictorial traditions in unexpected ways, questioning pictorial categories and creating new dialogues between disciplines. Her work demonstrates the enduring power of the printed image-even in the digital age.

Switzerland's Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2025 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Anna Monika Jost, Bruno Monguzzi, and Batia Suter. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and an interview, as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.
