PKZ Burger-Kehl – Shirt Advertisement
Description
This striking graphic work by Diggelmann is a notable example of Swiss post-war graphic design, created for PKZ Burger-Kehl, the renowned Zurich-based menswear company.
The composition depicts an open shirt box, dramatically tilted in space, revealing a neatly folded dark shirt within. The minimalist layout, bold perspective, and restrained color palette convey a sense of precision, quality, and modern elegance—core values of Swiss commercial design in the mid-20th century.
The confident typographic treatment of the brand name, combined with the near-photographic realism of the box, highlights Diggelmann’s mastery of visual clarity and conceptual simplicity. Both functional and artistic, the design effectively blurs the boundary between advertising and modern graphic art.
