Take a training in
structural-engineering draughtsmanship, the rational, pared-down
aesthetic of the Swiss, and the talent of a natural designer and you get
Hannes Wettstein, the creative whose furniture, product designs and
interiors form a memorable body of work with an emphasis on simplicity
of form. The material legacy of Wettstein, who died far too young in
2008, is currently being celebrated in Zurich at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology (ETH), where an exhibition in its striking main
hall combines the display of some of his archetype-defining products
with large-scale projections of his sketches. Architonic was there, of
course, and offer you some photographic impressions of the
installation-like show.
