Alfredo Häberli, a prominent Swiss designer originally from Argentina, has an exhibition at the Q 27 Market in Zurich where 40 of his design objects, spanning a career of four decades, are available for purchase. Although he left Argentina at a young age during the military coup in 1976, Häberli's contributions to the Swiss design landscape are significant, despite the challenges he faced, including initial language barriers that prevented him from studying design in Switzerland at first.

Häberli was determined to pursue a career in design, inspired by the work of Italian designer Achille Castiglioni. After a brief apprenticeship as a draftsman, he eventually graduated from the same design school in Zurich that had initially rejected him. His resilience and dedication to his craft have led him to become one of the most recognized figures in Swiss design, with a portfolio that innovatively blends functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The exhibition not only celebrates his past work but also allows visitors to acquire pieces that reflect his journey and influence in the design world. This unique opportunity connects collectors and design enthusiasts with Häberli's illustrious career, illustrating the importance of perseverance in the face of obstacles and the ongoing relevance of his designs in contemporary aesthetics.
