About us
IC DESIGN's mission is to promote good, original and exciting product design. These are products which stand the test of time, both in regard to their design and craftmanship. We believe in consuming less, but consuming wisely, and that life is made better by good design.
We act as a distributor in our domestic Swiss market and as an exclusive licensee for the development, production and international marketing and sales of re-edited modernist classics as well as highly innovative recent designs, with partner companies in key international markets.
We look forward to your enquiries.

Stephanie Kahane
Founder, Executive Management
Foreign languages and cultures have always fascinated me. I take great pleasure in collaborating with international designers and brands and bringing exceptional product design to Switzerland. Many of our products are part of my daily life—both at home and on the go—and shape my perspective on good product design. I love to travel, spend time with family and friends, go for bike rides, and am also passionate about photography. As much as I am a city person, I just as much enjoy tending to my urban garden and spending time in nature.

Peter Kahane
Founder & Japan Expert
Art, design, and cultural diversity have always shaped who I am. Born in New York to Swiss parents, my personality blends American and Swiss influences. I used to live in Japan and speak Japanese fluently— a language and culture that have fascinated me since childhood. My passion lies in Swiss graphic & poster design, Far Eastern art, and high-quality product design. My enthusiasm for beautiful, well-crafted objects has been with me for many years and, from the very beginning, inspired me to turn this passion into my own career.

Rebecca Gerber
Sales
Curiosity and a passion for discovering new places inspire me to explore cities and spend time in the mountains with friends. My appreciation for literature, art, and contemporary architecture, combined with a keen interest in current affairs, has shaped me for many years and first led
me into the world of bookselling. Since joining IC Design in 2018, I have enjoyed working closely with our retail partners and visiting them on a regular basis. Personal connections, inspiring conversations, and relationships built
on trust are what make my work so varied and fulfilling.

Suzana Vasiljevic
Warehouse, Procurement, Accounting
Creativity and organization have always been a part of my life. After completing an apprenticeship as a camerawoman, I found my career path in logistics. Since 2007, I’ve had the opportunity to gain experience in all areas—from the warehouse and order processing to administrative and organizational tasks. I’ve been working closely with IC Design since 2016, and I’ve been with the company full-time since 2026. I particularly appreciate the variety in my work and the opportunity to find the right solutions for a wide range of challenges. In my free time, I’m passionate about film scores, audiobooks, art, and movies, which never fail to inspire me.
