The first comprehensive tribute to the Swiss Designers Jörg Hamburger and Georg Staehelin. Connected by a passion for precision and detail, the two graduates of Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel shared a creative attitude that continued and reformulated the legacy of Swiss Style.
Their posters manifest a reduced yet poetic-sensuous expression while challenging intellectually. Those that advertise exhibitions particularly convey complex contents in a puristic and timeless manner. The creations by Hamburger are characterized by a more pronounced adherence to tradition, while Staehelin’s experimental openness often leads to surprising results. The joint works of the two reveal the mutual appreciation and fruitfulness of their professional exchange.
