Pierre Brand

Pierre Brand is a Swiss industrial designer who grew up between the French- and German-speaking parts of the country and studied industrial design in Lucerne and Berlin before completing a master’s at Umeå Institute of Design in 2026. His work starts from hands-on prototyping and from a preference for turning complex, multi-layered briefs into clear and tangible products.

His degree project Bloom, developed with Logitech, addresses dyslexia in children aged six to nine: a toolbox of three tactile instruments, Cue for sound sequencing and reading rhythm, Crayon for handwriting and an E-Ink Slate that adapts between exercises, designed to make the mechanics of literacy tangible without replacing teachers or therapists.
