Swiss Style Icon: Remembering Otto Baumberger

Swiss Style Icon: Remembering Otto Baumberger

On this day, December 26th, we remember the passing of the illustrious Swiss painter and poster artist, Otto Baumberger (1889–1961). Baumberger was a master of the Swiss Sachplakat (Object Poster) style, known for its focus on highly realistic, dramatic representations of a single product or subject. He brought a sense of powerful visual clarity and monumental scale to his commercial work. With over 200 high-quality posters to his name, Baumberger’s style heavily influenced graphic design, making his work highly collectible and representative of the golden age of Swiss advertising.
