Heinz Aeschlimann

Switzerland

Heinz Aeschlimann is a Swiss businessman who runs an asphalt company established by his father in 1936. Having served for several years in the Swiss army, Aeschlimann’s approach to both his business concerns and his artistic production is focused and directed, ensuring success on both fronts. Aeschlimann works largely in steel, concerned most with the properties of his materials to the point of letting this aspect of production guide design. His experience in paving construction and road and bridge technology has led him to experiment with a variety of industrial materials which, when used in an artistic context, lend a remarkable solidity of both design and product to his work.
