BIG-GAME
BIG-GAME is a Swiss-based design studio founded in 2004 by Augustin Scott de Martinville, Elric Petit and Grégoire Jeanmonod. The studio describes their work as simple, functional and optimistic. They design a variety of products and accessories for companies such as Alessi, Hay, Karimoku, Muji, Lexon, Nespresso and Moustache.
