## Summary

A hardcover design monograph titled 'Willy Guhl: Thinking with Your Hands', published by Lars Müller Publishers, featuring a grayscale abstract cover image.

## Description

As a pioneer of modern design, Willy Guhl created world-famous furniture such as the Eternit garden chair or Europe’s first plastic shell chair. In the tradition of modernism and against the traditional “Heimatstil”, he developed a holistic design approach oriented to human beings and their needs. Functionality and reduction to the essential characterize his everyday objects. For companies such as Dietiker, Eternit and Aebi, Willy Guhl designed seating furniture, planters and mowing machines. Willy Guhl’s designs and his teaching methods bear witness to the innovations of the booming design industry of the post-war period and the changing professional image of the industrial designer. As a teacher, he influenced generations of Swiss designers. This first comprehensive monograph illuminates Willy Guhl’s legacy in the context of this design and teaching practice as well as current theories of the design discipline. As a thematically structured catalog of works, it offers a complete index of all design projects.    DETAILS  Edited by Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, Renate Menzi With contributions by Ann-Kathrin Hörrlein, Catherine Ince, Renate Menzi, Dieter Mersch, Jasper Morrison, Arthur Rüegg, Katrin Stowasser Design: Teo Schifferli   22,5 × 28 cm, 8 ¾ × 11 in 308 pages, 992 illustrations paperback  2023, 978-3-03778-715-1, English
