hans bellmann
1911 – 1990
In his mid 30s he had already experienced two world wars: Hans Bellmann lived in extreme times. Influenced by his studies at Bauhaus and his collaboration with Mies van der Rohe, his designs symbolise the lifestyle of the post-war years, a time of awakening, scarce resources, and increasing mobility. If you think about Swiss designers from the 50s and 60s, Bellmann will probably not be the first one who comes to mind, but he is undoubtedly one of the pioneers of classical modernity.
