Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Daniel Hunziker combines design and engineering skills with the goal of fostering a culture characterised by functionality and formal perfection. The interplay of expert knowledge, innovation culture and many years of hands-on experience in our work enables us to create overall concepts for interiors, products, urban furniture or exhibition design. «Good design requires intellectual depth. Otherwise it’s just decoration.» For me, detail-oriented and coherent design is also inspired by art and music – and I have deep roots in both. As a result, over the years I have developed an interdisciplinary design practice. We fuse knowledge, materials and technology into a humanistic vision, which we then implement in advanced products and sensory spaces. The Daniel Hunziker Design Identity studio has been in Zurich since 2011 and I have been cultivating Swiss engineering and design tradition for over 20 years. I work with the members of my collective both in Switzerland and internationally. «In my work I combine all the things I believe are essential to good design: innovation, attention to detail, functionality and tradition.»
