Klaus Vogt

Klaus Vogt began his career when he was only sixteen years old, when he undertook a Marine Design apprenticeship in Meilen. His interest in architecture was further solidified when he attended the University of Applied Arts Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich from 1958 to 1962, specializing in Interior Design. After his university education, Klaus Vogt gained valuable work experience, first at Grosman Architecten in Rotterdam, and later, at Dolf Schnebli's firm, as he continued to expand his skills in architecture and interior design. In 1968, Klaus Vogt opened his architectural practice in Scherz, Canton Aargau. In addition to his career as an architect, Klaus Vogt also devoted part of his time to teaching. Between 1979, 1993 and 1995, he was a lecturer in interior design at the Zurich School of Design.

One of Klaus Vogt's best-known designs is the DS-600 sofa, created in collaboration with Ueli Berger, Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva, and Heinz Ulrich for De Sede in the 1970s. This innovative and iconic sofa helped define interior design at the time and remains a symbol of elegance and innovation to this day. In the 1980s and 1990s, Klaus Vogt collaborated with Benno and Jacqueline Fosco-Oppenheim to create several major projects. These include the institutional buildings for the ETH in Zurich and the Rüti station in the canton of Zurich, which testify to his ability to create functional and aesthetically striking spaces.
