Alfredo Häberli

Alfredo Haberli was born in Buenos Aires, but moved to Switzerland in 1977. He graduated from Höhere Schule für Gestaltung in Zurich in 1991, with a Distinction in Industrial Design. Today, he is an internationally established designer based in Zurich and is working for some of the leading companies of the design industry. After training as both an architect and a designer he has a modest approach to both disciplines.

His work combines tradition with innovation and is quite heavily influenced by his early childhood in Argentina. The results are designs with a strong expression and emotional ties. His designs have been broadcasted in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and he has received many awards for his work during the past 16 years. In 2014 Alfredo Häberli received the Swiss Grand Prix of Design from the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.

"I have a very strong visual memory and when I begin a project I think of objects, pages, photographs, things I know, and I start putting them together to create something new. I like being in my studio; that’s where I find my inspiration." - Alfredo Haberli
