Just when you’ve thought you’ve seen it all, you stumble across something like this Swiss site containing a MASSIVE amount of work from legendary designers like Brockmann, Ruder, Bill, Hofmann, Stankowski, Rüegg, Lohse, Huber, Tschichold and more. This is the motherload folks.
It just goes to show how prolific these designers were, especially Brockmann. I thought I’ve seen most of his work, but this site contains many designs that I’ve never seen, like the one pictured here. It’s like rediscovering him all over again. Not sure how he was able to get all the work completed. I can’t imagine ever producing this amount of work in my lifetime. Amazing.
It is actually a Swiss site, and is linked to the Museum of Design in Zürich, who have a huge archive of amazing work. They are also responsible for co-publishing the Lars Müller Poster series of books. http://www.museum-gestaltung.ch/
Here is a link to a searchable section of their archive.

That’s a pretty weird site navigation-wise, but what a great collection!
