ZigZagZurich at the 28th BLICKFANG Zurich
From November 15 to 17, 2024, ZigZagZurich will be at BLICKFANG Zurich, where the Kongresshaus Zurich will once again become the center of exceptional design and creativity. As one of over 180 carefully selected brands, we are thrilled to be part of this renowned design fair, showcasing the latest in innovative and sustainable design from Switzerland and across Europe.
Exclusive Design Workshop
At this year’s BLICKFANG Zurich, ZigZagZurich is excited to host a design workshop that offers participants a chance to see their creative ideas brought to life. The winning design will be selected and later produced as a high-quality wool blanket, showcasing the vision of the designer in our collection.
Looking back at last year’s workshop, we’re proud to highlight the winning design by Ruben Hackler. Hackler’s blanket, titled “Frostschutz”, takes a humorous and thoughtful approach to what a wool blanket should be. Inspired by leaflets from the 1980s Swiss youth movement, his design reflects the spirit of resistance against conformity and societal "coldness," a sentiment echoed by activists who saw themselves as “icebreakers.” Part of the proceeds from Hackler’s design goes toward supporting alternative cultural institutions.

Another standout from last year was Gabriela Scholl’s "Moon Sheep" blanket. Inspired by Christian Morgenstern's poem "Das Mondschaf," her design merges the whimsy of childhood with the charm of the Walliser Schwarznasenschaf, blending nostalgia with a modern twist.

This year’s workshop continues our tradition of celebrating creativity, individuality, and the unique stories that each design brings to life.
