Exceptional portfolio by swiss designer Ronnie Fueglister. I also love the minimal site design.

Here is a mouth-wather collection of over 300 Swiss posters curated by Carnegie Mellon University that spans almost 4 decades.
More Rare Swiss Design Books
These next two additions to my collection have to be the most rare and the most expensive but also the most satisfying. Publicity and Graphic Design in the Chemical Industry (1967) and Graphic Design in Swiss Industry (1965) are both by Hans Neuberg and are part of the excellent ABC Verlag collection and contain page after page of some of the finest design work you’ll ever see. From packaging to letterheads these books will keep you hypnotized for hours… if you can find them.
You can see more photos from both books on my Flickr page.
Swiss Sports Posters
I added a new book to my collection this weekend titled Swiss Sports Posters that features… well… Swiss sports posters. The book is a collection of the best sports posters covering more than a century. Printed in 1983 and authored by Karl Wobmann and Max Triet, Swiss Sports Posters contains brilliant work that will get any designers juices flowing.
Check out the full gallery on my Flickr page.
Max Huber Museum
If I ever make it to Switzerland I definitely have to check out the Max Huber Museum.
