Biography Robert Wettstein<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I also call myself Robert A. <\/strong>Wettstein or Robert Adrian<\/strong> Wettstein to avoid confusion with other Wettstein’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live and work in Zurich, Switzerland. My studio is in the centre of the city, near a green park. I work in the fields of product design, lighting design and furniture. My work therefore relates to space and includes many artistic techniques such as photography and painting. I work as a lecturer and mentor at the Zurich University of the Arts. My mother tongue is Swiss German.
I have chosen a very manual profession. The profession of orthopaedic technician is based in the medical sector and produces aids that are often individually customised and made to measure. This knowledge can therefore also be transferred to everyday objects and used for the manufacture of chairs or objects. The first chair models were made from found structural steel as early as 1985. I already had my first contacts with Rainer Krause and his company Anthologie Quartett at that time.
This hobby turned into a passion that continues to this day. I am also still interested in sustainable materials today. Fortunately, I was able to pursue both in parallel in my business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a collector I run a small mono thematic museum about the legendary Landi chair at the same location. Landistuhlmuseum Zurich<\/a> a visit is possible by appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
