Jörg Hamburger – Georg Staehelin
Jörg Hamburger – Georg Staehelin is the first comprehensive tribute to the Swiss designers. 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. Their posters for the Museum für Gestaltung, Museum of Design, Zurich reflect an inspiring combination of graphic design principles and a pure delight in creativity.
