Yves Behar BiographyYves Béhar is a Swiss designer and entrepreneur who believes that integrated product, digital, and brand design are the cornerstones of any business. He is the founder and chief designer of fuseproject founded in 1999; he is also the Chief Creative Officer of Jawbone and the co-founder of August, the next generation home entry system.

For each of these he was honored with the INDEX Award, making him the only designer to have received the award twice. He also worked with the Bloomberg administration on the NYC Condom, and is currently spearheading SPRING, an accelerator supporting African entrepreneurs focused on social and economic change in East Africa.
His collaborations with renowned partners such as Herman Miller, Movado, Puma, Issey Miyake, Prada, SodaStream, Samsung, Swarovski, Canal+, British Gas, Nivea and many others have received international acclaim.

Béhar's works are included in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou and the Art Institute of Chicago.
