His wide experience in designing at various scales and in various spheres has allowed him to develop an independent profile, contributing to multiple fields. A communicative person, he gladly works in teams. His social “flair”, mixed with his design “ingenuity” makes him an welcome project partner in a wide range of constellations and areas. He sees himself as a proponent of the “human factor” in what is an ever-increasingly anonymous world of work. It’s up to us, how we shape both this and our entire environment. Starting from the capitalist, industrial model, our society needs to move towards more cooperative structures. “As a designer, one should be aware of one’s responsibilities. The projects you undertake should contribute to a meaningful future.” https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Pic1 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:58:03 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Pic1 <img width="1281" height="1919" width_o="1281" height_o="1919" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99bd8c9eae5fac8101c457cfcecae8de0d1a1c04e7ca9c062c46d21c8f3673d7/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_009.jpg" data-mid="163153759" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/99bd8c9eae5fac8101c457cfcecae8de0d1a1c04e7ca9c062c46d21c8f3673d7/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_009.jpg" /> https://florianhauswirth.ch/About3-Bio Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:58:14 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/About3-Bio Studies and experiences Florian Hauswirth, born 1976 in Dielsdorf, near Zurich, CH. Following a four-year traineeship as a technical model maker in a model and mould design office, Florian Hauswirth worked for five years a professional in the field – initially with small companies, later for three years as a product developer for the Vitra furniture manufacturer in Birsfelden, close to Basel in Switzerland. During his studies, he continued to work as a model maker during the semester vacations, and at the same time also as a materials researcher with Vitra. In 2006 he was given the additional opportunity to graduate in industrial design in collaboration with Vitra at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW). Parallel to his university studies, Florian Hauswirth was active in the street-art collective Die Seiner, involving on-spec 2D and 3D works, as well as commissioned pieces for clients such as Carhartt.In 2005, already whilst studying, Florian Hauswirth won, together with Thomas Walde, the &nbsp;Nike Play Award, then next the special prize at the Design Biennale Lucerne in 2006. This was followed by various nominations, ranging from the Berner Design Preis, Salone Satellite Milan and the Swiss BKA Design Award, culminating in 2010 in a Wallpaper Award. Likewise in 2010, he won a studio grant from the Berner Design Stiftung for New York, which for him proved to be a formative experience. Subsequently, in 2016, he won a marketing prize for a product line and a travel grant, together with Katia Ritz, which took him to Hong Kong, Mongolia, China and Japan. From 2009 onwards his work came to increasingly focus on spatial works, again in tandem with architect Katia Ritz. What began as the Installative Spatial Laboratory morphed into a collective practice involving both scenography and architecture, as well as interim-use and urban-planning projects. This team effort resulted in a number of successful architectural competition entries, including a school, the Autonomous Youth Centre in Biel, an enactment project for the Hoher Kasten tunnel and a first prize for the idea competition for the Gas Works site in Berne. In 2020 the partnership’s RITZWIRTH collective was invited for a solo exhibition with an accompanying book publication at the Kunsthaus Pasquart in Biel. His professional skills as a design assistant were acquired working for Vogt + Weizenegger in Berlin and for Barber Osgerby in London. Both studios operate as co-authored teamwork practices, with their spectrum spanning the fields of focused conceptual work, space and the object. In 2007 Florian Hauswirth was a co-founder of the sustainable design collective Postfossil, which advanced to play a pioneering role in the design scene. Florian Hauswirth has given workshops at various universities: Kassel, ZhdK Zurich, HEAD Geneva, as well as the Design Week in Bratislava. Since 2017 he has held a position as a lecturer and a core team member of the Object Design degree course at the HSLU Lucerne Department of Art and Design, including teaching spatial design and interdisciplinary modules (Colabor+). As of 2023 he will be responsible, together with the graphic designer Julia Bazzini, for the conception and realisation of the HSLU’s annual “Werkschau” graduate exhibition. https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Pic2 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 15:01:49 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Pic2 <img width="1920" height="1281" width_o="1920" height_o="1281" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e569a12fa92950370aa28c1692febfb919c8c4f88d2315c842b7a906b34ad554/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_002.jpg" data-mid="163153742" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e569a12fa92950370aa28c1692febfb919c8c4f88d2315c842b7a906b34ad554/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_002.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1281" width_o="1920" height_o="1281" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f95f17fcdbe849118a3dc5680ed03aba3d4508d1c90d64e4288aa4161b012ded/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_004.jpg" data-mid="163153743" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f95f17fcdbe849118a3dc5680ed03aba3d4508d1c90d64e4288aa4161b012ded/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_004.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1281" width_o="1920" height_o="1281" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/876834dcd49acc46f7b8517ddf5b43048a490fe5bb1e8fdc3d122d375a5e59f2/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_005.jpg" data-mid="163153745" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/876834dcd49acc46f7b8517ddf5b43048a490fe5bb1e8fdc3d122d375a5e59f2/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_005.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1281" width_o="1920" height_o="1281" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b3c0e4acbf1856b2b1cffd55513b38924c8299274a7221c47bc74617e80081a/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_014.jpg" data-mid="163153746" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b3c0e4acbf1856b2b1cffd55513b38924c8299274a7221c47bc74617e80081a/AF_Atelier_Falkenstrasse_Dez_22_014.jpg" /> https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Clients Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:59:21 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/About-Clients We need to assume responsibility for the effects our works produce.

As with bistro food, the ingredients and the exquisite coordination of the composition are decisive for fant. fant is a simple and practical table for many applications. It consists of a wooden central column, a flat metal base and a solid wood tabletop. Table top in solid wood. The connection between the column and the is conical. On the one hand, this creates a visual on the one hand, and on the other, greater stability is achieved. The shape is reminiscent of the lower part of a tree trunk or the foot of an elephant - hence the name Fant. Context A bistro is uncomplicated, classic and simple. Just like the fant bistro table from Tossa. Material The solid wood for the central leg and the table top can be chosen to match the interior design project and painted in the desired colour. https://florianhauswirth.ch/img-21 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 12:56:56 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/img-21 <img width="1021" height="995" width_o="1021" height_o="995" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4950839911760069d85df0f5cd2c714fd65681798c4419439799623f64d4613/fant_table.jpg" data-mid="224280994" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4950839911760069d85df0f5cd2c714fd65681798c4419439799623f64d4613/fant_table.jpg" /> https://florianhauswirth.ch/intro-18 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 19:02:59 +0000 Florian Hauswirth https://florianhauswirth.ch/intro-18 2024 bAlq Concept Balq‘ elegantly combines the qualities of tubular metal and solid wood. The construction allows for longer versions from 1.8 to 4.5 metres. The shape of the metal legs stabilises the construction on all sides, and the frame acts as a stiffener in the transverse direction of the table top, so there is no need for ribs or hidden metal constructions. The table‘s unique character is characterised by its lively and honest design. A piece of Swiss design, created in such a way that it can be produced entirely in Switzerland. The design has been conceived in such a way that both assembly and disassembly go smoothly, ‚end of life‘ or ‚cradle to cradle‘ has been taken into account. The wood pattern of the table top is a ‚matter for the boss‘ at Tossa, making each table unique. Context Balq‘ redefines the dining table, offering an elegant solution for extending length without compromising stability or design integrity. MaterialVarious types of wood possible, metal tube (color coating or burnished)
