Willy Guhl – Gestalter und Lehrer｜1985

Museum für Gestaltung Zürich: Willy Guhl Gestalter und Lehrer

Official Exhibition Poster

“A definitive visual tribute to Swiss design pioneering—where Helvetica typography meets the sculptural, form-follows-function legacy of Willy Guhl.”

Published directly by Museum für Gestaltung Zürich for the historic 1985 exhibition, this authentic large-format archival poster pays homage to Willy Guhl (1915–2004), one of Switzerland’s most prominent mid-century industrial designers and influential educators at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts (Kunstgewerbeschule).

The central graphic composition utilizes a distinctive green-and-white halftone portrait of Guhl, creating an expressive backdrop for a curated gallery of his iconic designs. Floating across the composition are photographic cutouts of his landmark works, most notably the 1954 Eternit-Stuhl (Loop Chair)—a masterpiece of material efficiency formed from a single continuous ribbon of fiber cement—alongside ergonomic chairs, woven seating structures, and agricultural design studies. Framed by clean Helvetica sans-serif lettering detailing the exhibition title and venue information, the poster stands as a masterclass in mid-century Swiss graphic design.

Printed in an extraordinary 127cm x 91cm oversized format on heavy archival paper stock, this unframed poster acts as a monumental focal point for architectural practices, industrial design studios, modern residences, and collectors of vintage Swiss design heritage.
