Versatile enough, Hannes Wettstein creates furniture, watches, industrial products, lighting and many architectural projects for clients and international brands.
In 2008, Hannes Wettstein died in Zurich at the age of 50. It was then his business partner, the architect and designer Stephan Hürlemann who sued the Zurich agency according to the wishes of his friend. The studio has long kept the name of Studio Hannes Wettstein ... However, in 2016, it’s called Hürlemann.
The name has changed but the spirit of the studio is still the same. That of creating ever more original and elegant products with precise work.
