Today Switch is pleased to be hosting the 2015 DAAP Industrial Design Students from University of Cincinnati. For the past few years, Switch has been taking part in the student’s final project by way of offering our lighting knowledge and expertise. The project is for the students to create their own unique lighting fixture. Here’s a few from the past year we loved:

DAAP at Switch

Every year Switch is involved in a design project for a class in the DAAP program at UC. Last week Drew and Bertie had their first meeting with the class to view the beginnings of their lighting design project. They also spoke to the students a bit about the lighting available at Switch and about lighting in general. Take a look at some of the photos taken during the student’s presentations:

Drew Goes to Art Basel

Switch owner Drew Dearwester recently took at trip to Miami to attend the Art Basel show. A bit about Art Basel:
“Art Basel stages the world’s premier Modern and contemporary art shows, held annually in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong. Founded by gallerists in 1970, Art Basel has been a driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in the nurturing of artists, and the development and promotion of visual arts. “
