Architects’ Journey Swiss Tour 2026 — A Look Back in Pictures

Batiplus had the pleasure of welcoming architects and interior architects for a new edition of the Archi Swiss Tour 2026, a journey dedicated to design, inspiration and meaningful exchange.

Our first stop brought us to Münsingen, at the heart of the iconic world of USM. Welcomed by Philippe and the USM teams, we discovered a fascinating manufacture where everything is conceived, developed and produced on site. From the factory visit and behind-the-scenes discoveries to inspiring conversations with the brand’s specialists, this immersion introduced us to a vision of design created to last a lifetime — and far beyond.

We then headed to Zurich to discover HAY’s new industrial-style showroom, filled with light and showcasing the 2026 novelties. Welcomed by Lukas and his team, our guests enjoyed a warm and inspiring evening combining discoveries, conversations, Mediterranean dishes and live music.

The following day, we travelled to Weil am Rhein to explore the iconic universe of Vitra. Guided by Tina and Thiéry, we began this immersive experience with the Doshi Levien Retreat before discovering Tadao Ando’s legendary Conference Pavilion and the Vitra 2026 novelties at the VitraHaus.

The journey concluded with a warm lunch at the VitraHaus Café — a final moment to share discoveries, inspirations and meaningful exchanges between guests, partners and the Batiplus team.

A heartfelt thank you to USM, HAY and Vitra for their remarkable hospitality, and especially to Philippe, Lukas, Tina and Thiéry for their generosity and these inspiring moments.

The Archi Swiss Tour 2026 once again reminded us that design is not only about objects or spaces — it is an experience to live, share and pass on.
