Jrg Hamburger-Georg Staehelin: Poster Collection 29

Poster Collection 29 is the first comprehensive tribute to the designers Jorg Hamburger and Georg Staehelin. Connected by a passion for precision and detail, the two graduates of Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel share a creative attitude that continues and reformulates the legacy of Swiss Style. Their posters manifest a reduced expression, convincing in a poetic-sensuous manner while challenging intellectually. In particular the posters advertising exhibitions convey complex contents in a puristic and timeless form. 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 the professional exchange
sensitively developed posters for the Museum of Design reflect an inspiring combination of graphic design principles and a pure delight in creative design.
