Dimitri Bähler

Dimitri Bähler studied product design at ECAL in Switzerland and at Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Bähler draws inspiration from his practical experiences and describes his approach to design as spontaneous, radical, and poetic. His work ranges from mass-produced objects to unique pieces created for installations.

Dimitri Bähler has worked with notable clients around the world, including Muuto, Hay, and Established & Sons – where he created the iconic Cho Lamp. He has participated in residencies such as EKWC at the European Center for Ceramic, and Ishinomaki Laboratory in Japan. Since opening his studio in 2014, Dimitri Bähler has won many awards, including the Swiss Design Award, Kortrijk Design Biennal Grand Award, and the Camper Prize. Today, he continues to work from his studio in Biel, Switzerland.

"Working from an experimental approach, I am in constant search for the right tension between simple and complex, radical and poetic, abstract and figurative, experience and spontaneity. My work is driven by contrasts in general with a strong attraction to the essential."- Dimitri Bähler
