Zumbühl Designstudio

Zumbühl Designstudio, which works as Z Designstudio, occupies an old industrial building in the centre of Winterthur, Switzerland, where the space is used for new ideas and experimental work. The team pairs industrial design with mechanical engineering and with graphics and photography.

The studio develops consumer and capital goods as a service partner in product development, splitting projects into specification and briefing, conception and idea generation, design concept and language, and detailed planning and realisation. Hand sketches, CAD modelling and models built in its own workshop carry an idea through, with the stated aim of an integrally designed product that combines function and usability with an independent, durable design language. In changing forms, the studio has existed for more than fifteen years.
