Form and function in perfect harmony&nbsp;

Werner Blaser (1924–2019), born in Basel, achieved worldwide recognition as an influential Swiss architect and designer through his minimalist and functional approach to design. He studied at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and was profoundly inspired by Japanese architecture, which he encountered during his travels in the 1950s. These influences are clearly reflected in his work, which often reveal an elegant interplay of simplicity, refined forms, and a deep appreciation of materials.&nbsp;

Blaser was a student of Alvar Aalto and collaborated extensively with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. As an architect, author, and curator, he was in great demand, and his oeuvre spans from architectural landmarks to distinctive furniture designs. His iconic pieces are defined by their timeless presence and thoughtful construction. The TZ75 coffee table, with its clean lines and subtle proportions, exemplifies Blaser’s philosophy in which functionality and aesthetics exist in perfect harmony.&nbsp;

Werner Blaser’s work reflects his lifelong pursuit of simplicity and craftsmanship – qualities that have secured him a lasting place in the worlds of architecture and design. His creations continue to inspire admirers of modernism and minimalist design across the globe.&nbsp;
