Julie-July
Christian Horisberger
For the exhibition „Julie July“ the designer decided to show a chair which is based on a swiss archetype produced by Horgen Glarus. By merging two backrests into one, the iconic form of the chair becomes a new typology. The chair is standing upon two wooden beams which are cutting the galery‘s room diagonaly. By lifting one of the front legs the chair can be seen in a dancing movement.
Horisberger graduated as an Industrial Designer at the FHNW in Aarau (CH) 2006. After winning the Swiss Design Award 2007 he worked three years in the Studio of Alfredo Häberli. Since 2011 he runs his own company CM Horisberger, working in the fields of product development, furniture design, scenography and exhibition architecture.
