Description

Swiss-born Max Huber first worked for Studio Boggeri in Milan during a short period in 1940/41 (he returned in 1945). This two color, auto compressor catalog for Loro e Parisini (construction equipment company) is a remarkable early design showcasing Huber’s Swiss training (Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich) and sensibilities - organized and logical with an advanced use of grids, photography and typography (hand-lettering). Studio Boggeri worked with innovative, industrial clients in pre/post war Italy and attracted the brightest Italian, German and Swiss talent.
