Schweizerische Städtebau, 1928. by Niklaus Stoecklin
This poster by Niklaus Stoecklin uses bold geometric shapes and typography to promote the Schweizerische Städtebau-Ausstellung (Swiss Urban Planning Exhibition) held at the Kunsthaus in Zürich from 4th August to 2nd September 1928. A massive "Z," representing Zürich, dominates the composition, with its diagonal stroke forming a sleek, blue ribbon inscribed with the event's details in clean, sans-serif lettering.
Created in 1928, this poster coincides with a period of rapid urbanisation and modernist innovation across Europe. The exhibition it advertises focused on urban planning solutions for growing cities, showcasing contemporary designs and ideas for efficient, structured living spaces. Niklaus Stoecklin, a Swiss graphic designer and a pioneer of the Sachplakat (object poster) style, was renowned for his ability to distil complex themes into simple, impactful visuals. His work here exemplifies the rational and functional design ethos of the modernist movement.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
