Jörg Boner (born 1968 in Uster) lives and works in Zurich. Since graduating from the former "Schule für Gestaltung" in Basel in 1996, he has created a wide range of products, lighting and furniture. In addition to his work as a designer, he taught at the ECAL in Lausanne from 2003 to 2014. Some of Jörg Boner's works can be seen at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and the Museum of Design, Zurich. This collection also includes some of the lighting designs he created for Schätti. In 2011, he was awarded the Swiss Grand Priy Design by the Swiss Confederation.
In Jörg Boner's design, production methods and the economic conditions associated with them are part of the design. The lightness of the drawing should be reflected in the way the product is made. He always understands design in different conteyts, such as technical and economic, as well as historical and cultural. Things should be created in such a way that their beauty and function remain with us for a long time.
