Dafi Kühne – TRUE PRINT – Lars Müller Publishers
Swiss graphic and poster design have a long tradition that influences the way designers work and think, the way they employ color and patterns, the way they reduce and leave out. Müller-Brockmann and Weingart have had more than enough of their fifteen minutes of fame though. It’s time for the next generation. Meet Dafi Kühne.
Dafi, who fuses modern means with the century-old tradition of the letterpress, is about to publish his first book, a selection of his work. Never retro, his work is a clever response to the search for new ways of graphic expression: true print.
