2023, Rosmarie Baltensweiler Design Leben

Abstract

Design offers the opportunity to perceive, shape and, therefore, change the world. But also the chance to build a company and maintain relationships. Rosemarie Baltensweiler, née Schwarz, utilised them all with her husband Rico until he died in 1987, in a team with her children Karin and Gabriel and with employees. Designing, developing, constructing, and the entrepreneurial side of design all played essential roles in her life. She understood "design" as integrative and multifaceted. From the various perspectives that go hand in hand with this, she brought together an independent view of what good design can achieve.
