Hannes Wettstein

Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein was not as well known as some of his contemporaries, but his work reached a wide audience, with designs that ranged from high-tech innovations and high-end furniture to more accessible consumer products like bicycles, lamps, pens, razors, and watches. His products, while simple and straightforward in appearance, were the result of a rigorous design process.
Wettstein also designed furniture for Cassina, Molteni, Bulo, Arflex, Wittmann, and Erik Jørgensen; lighting for Artemide and Oluce; and in true Swiss fashion, several pioneering timepieces.
His design work extended beyond products to include art direction, corporate identity, and interiors.
