The Swiss Alfredo Häberli (b. 1964 in Buenos Aires) is one of today's most innovative and successful designers. From wineglasses to chairs, from shoes to shelving systems, he finds an elegant solution for everything, combining precision and functionality with lightness and playful charm. With a unique and inimitable design by Studio Achermann, this book on his creative work breaks new ground in the representation of design. Some of today's most eminent Swiss artists � Shirana Shahbazi, David Renggli, Walter Pfeiffer, Roman Signer, John M Armleder, K�rner Union, and Stefan Burger � stage his works in this publication. The interplay of photography and design makes the form, function, and everyday effect of Häberli�s objects visible in new and unusual ways. Essays by Gianni Jetzer and Stefano Casciani explore and illuminate H�berli�s work and the artists� interpretations. The book was designed by Beda Achermann, trendsetting art director and founder of the German men�s magazine Vogue.
