CHThe Swiss graphic designer Warja Lavater, known for creating the iconic three-key logo for UBS in 1937, has been largely forgotten since her death in 2007 despite her significant contributions to Swiss design history. Lavater's work extended beyond the UBS logo, including designs for public spaces like Zurich waterworks and a 100-meter-long visual narrative for the Swiss Women's Work Exhibition in 1958. Her innovative approach to storytelling through abstract symbols, such as in her 'Leporellos' or fold-out books, showcased her unique visual language. Despite her achievements, she remained relatively unknown during her lifetime, partly due to her reluctance to seek recognition. Now, her daughter Cornelia Hesse-Honegger and cultural mediator Edith Eicher aim to revive her legacy through a comprehensive monograph detailing her life and work.
