An exhibition-event to celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of Switzerland: from 13 to 17 November the spaces of the Overstudio in Milan host the winning works of Swiss Original – Handmade Creative Project, the international creative contest promoted by Consortium Emmentaler Switzerland.

4 creative categories – artwork, video, photography and short message story – to tell the artisanal tradition of Emmentaler, a true icon of Switzerland, using different artistic methods. 450 artists coming from 55 countries have accepted the challenge of revisiting the famous cheese through artistic innovation and through the use of various techniques – sculpture, painting, ceramics, collages, 3D prints, digital artwork, photographs and videos – have created physical and digital works that represent the great tradition of cheese making with holes.

A story, that ofEmmentaler, which originated in the 13th century and still continues today thanks to the wisdom of the dairy masters, custodians of a know-how which has been handed down from generation to generation and makes it possible to produce the famous Swiss cheese by hand, today just like centuries ago.

At the Milanese exhibition-event will be exhibited the works selected by the jury of experts and by the online community of Desall among all the participants who have distinguished themselves for originality, history, methodology and handmade (understood as the evidence of manual quality of execution, in the case of physical work, or the evidence of the theme of manual skill in the case of digital work). The winners of the 4 creative categories will receive, in addition to the exhibition, a cash prize and the inclusion in the catalog.
