Get Behind Design 2025

Win an original, large-format vintage design poster
128 × 90 cm (approx. 50.5 × 35.5 in)

In support of design education, Get Behind Design 2025 is raffling three original exhibition posters from Robert L. Peters’ personal collection—each representing a defining moment in international graphic design. The posters are being donated by TÉTRO in support of this year’s fundraiser.

The posters:

Plakat / Graphische Sammlung / Bibliothek
Alexander Tröhler, late 1970s–early 1980s
A classic Swiss institutional poster from the Schule für Gestaltung Zürich, using bold typographic perspective to celebrate posters, archives, and libraries—hallmarks of the expressive evolution of Swiss design.

Push Pin Studios aus New York
Jörg Hamburger, 1981
Created for a Zurich exhibition, this playful illustration introduces Swiss audiences to the influential Push Pin Studios. Painters scaling a giant palette reflect the narrative, irreverent spirit associated with Seymour Chwast and Milton Glaser’s legendary collective.

Entdeckungen der Staedte – Coca-Cola Trojan Horse
Han Xu, ca. 1999–2001
A striking silkscreen from China’s early contemporary design movement. A Trojan Horse built from Coca-Cola imagery offers a provocative critique of globalization and Western consumer culture.

How to enter:

All donations count toward the regular raffle prizes. Each $100 donated earns one entry in the poster raffle—higher donations mean more chances to win a poster. Donate at descan.ca/foundation

A rare opportunity to support design education—and potentially take home a true design classic.

At Kolye TJN, each handcrafted piece is more than a visual statement — it’s an exploration of texture, form, and emotion. Their interlocking felt structures are meticulously hand-assembled, creating wearable art that reflects the connection between material and maker, wearer and admirer.
