Alfredo Häberli has a penchant for elegant forms that appeal to the eye as well as to the touch. His works have in common a delicate appearance and efficient use of materials. Sofas seem to float on slender legs, chairs allow views to travel through their backrests, and drinking glasses are so delicately accentuated that it’s a pleasure to raise them to one’s lips. His products hide their complexity behind an effortless appearance imbued with lightness. They are everyday companions that do not push themselves to the fore and yet develop an extremely rare quality: They have soul.
