Watch company launches designer networking site

Swatch Group-owned brand Rado Switzerland will launch a networking website for designers next month.

The website is aimed primarily at new designers and graduates looking for work. It will allow users to upload a portfolio that they can share with peers and, Rado hopes, potential employers.

‘Our goal is to make the site a platform for young professionals to share work ideas, gain increased visibility and use the many networking features built into the site to contact each other and potential employers,’ says a spokeswoman for Rado.

The free, global website will launch at the Milan furniture fair at the end of April.

Switzerland-based design group Electronlibre designed the website. A registration page is currently viewable at www.radostar.com.
