Lausanne-based Design Studio BIG GAME wins Grand Prix 2025

The Grand Prix Design 2025, endowed with 50,000 francs, honors an individual or collective from the Vaud cultural scene whose contribution has a lasting impact. This year, the prize is awarded to the studio BIG-GAME, composed of Augustin Scott de Martinville, Grégoire Jeanmonod, and Elric Petit.

Founded in 2004 and based in Lausanne, BIG-GAME has distinguished itself through a design approach that is simple, functional, and decidedly optimistic. The trio creates products and accessories for companies such as Alessi, Hay, Karimoku, Muji, Lexon, Nespresso, and Moustache. Their work, praised for its accessibility, usefulness, and deliberately straightforward charm, has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Swiss Design Award, iF Design Award, Wallpaper Design Award, Good Design Award, Hublot Design Award, and Design Preis Schweiz. Their pieces are part of the collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, the Musée du Grand-Hornu, the Centre Pompidou, and the MoMA.

With a practice rooted in functionality and efficiency, and a lasting commitment to ECAL, where Augustin Scott de Martinville and Grégoire Jeanmonod were students and where all three founders now teach, BIG-GAME stands as one of the most influential Swiss studios of its generation. The awarding of the Grand Prix Design 2025 highlights the coherence and enduring impact of their work.
