When Robert Wettstein presented his Mrs. Heart at the “DEA” (Design Europeo Anteprima) exhibition at ZEUS in Milan in 1985 as a contribution to Anthologie Quartett, the mute servant was regarded as a product that had fallen into oblivion - with no recognizable market.
However, this presentation marked the beginning of an unforeseeable renaissance: the male version with an additional trouser bar followed in 1988 and the miniaturized Herzkind in 1991.
The heart family, made of leather and structural steel, has little in common with the otherwise familiar Swiss design. And yet - or precisely because of this - after all these years, the pieces are regarded as an atypical but significant example of new Swiss design. Mrs. Herz became famous in particular after they were shown in the exhibition Gefühlscollagen - Wohnen von Sinnen in Düsseldorf. For this reason, these pieces are also associated with the “Deutschen Avantgarde” of the late 1980s.
Very rare complete set of "Mrs. Herz", "Mr. Herz" and "Herzkind".
