Working at Geigy in Ardsley, New York, reunited me with two other designers I’d worked with earlier at the Will Burtin office and gave me an opportunity to pursue the design direction that interested me, now often referred to as the “Swiss Style.” Gottfried Honegger, the Swiss designer who is best known as a Constructivist artist throughout Europe and as a recipient of the French Legion of Honor, was the design consultant. – Burton Kramer
