My attention was immediately drawn to this project because it exemplifies how innovation and creativity are not only essential in design but can also redefine any product or service, enhancing both functionality and identity.
In the winter of 2022, the Swiss Federal Office of Police introduced the next generation of Swiss passports. Since 1959, the iconic red passport has been recognized as one of the most sophisticated and secure travel documents worldwide. To preserve Switzerland’s legacy of graphic design excellence, the redesign was entrusted to the renowned design studio Retinaa. The brief was clear: to merge tradition with advanced security features while maintaining the unmistakable Swiss aesthetic.
In close collaboration with institutional authorities, Retinaa developed a design that seamlessly combines minimalism with cutting-edge security technology. The result is a passport that not only reaffirms Switzerland’s leadership in document security but also sets a new benchmark for how creative vision can elevate even the most technical solutions.
