Hans-Ueli Baumgartner is one of Switzerland’s leading metal designers. In this book, he presents the vast range covered by his past projects and works. Beyond that, he also reveals the thoughts that move him in the creative process, and speaks of the inspiration he has drawn from metalworking colleagues and partners in other trades.

This book offers more than a look inside his workshop in Beckenried. It also grants insights into the finding of form, the realization of ironwork and blacksmith art.
