PKZ Burger-Kehl – Shirt Advertisement
Description
This striking graphic work by Diggelmann is a celebrated example of Swiss post-war graphic design, created for PKZ Burger-Kehl, the renowned Zurich-based menswear company.
The composition presents an open shirt box, dramatically tilted in space, revealing a neatly folded dark shirt inside. The minimalist layout, bold perspective, and refined color palette emphasize precision, quality, and modern elegance, values strongly associated with Swiss commercial design of the mid-20th century.
The strong typographic treatment of the brand name, combined with the near-photographic realism of the box, demonstrates Diggelmann’s mastery of visual clarity and conceptual simplicity. The design is both commercial and artistic, blurring the line between advertising and modern graphic art.
