Swiss architect Hans Eichenberger's iconic 'Alpha' side table for STRÄSSLE with a rare beveled-edge, olive burl top on the classic chromed steel tripod base.

HANS EICHENBERGER was born in 1926 in Grosshöchstetten, outside of Berne, Switzerland.  Following an apprenticeship as a carpenter, he interned as a draughtsman in 1950 and 1951 in Paris.  The dynamic milieu that surrounded Le Corbusier in those years had a lasting impact on Eichenberger's life and work.  Returning to Switzerland, he opened his own workshop in Berne (headquartered in the famous Halen settlement since 1960).  In 1958, Eichenberger founded Swiss Design with a group of architects and designers—Robert Haussmann, Kurt Thut, Teo Jakob, Peter Haussmann, and Alfred Hablützel—for the purpose of promoting their work internationally.  By the decade's end he was also freelancing for the modernist architectural studio, Atelier 5.

Eichenberger's many collaborations with Swiss Design and Atelier 5 members and his individual projects for clients such as the Swiss National Bank, the Kunstmuseum Bern, and the SBB, have tied his name inextricably to Swiss Modernism.  His iconic designs include the 'Saffa' chair for Dietiker (1955), the 'EXPO 64' folding armchair (1964), the 'HE' seating series for Strässle (1978), and the 'Litfass Column' for Wogg (1994).  Röthlisberger and De Sede two other Swiss furniture makers, were also among his customers.  The majority of Eichenberger's creations are made predominantly of metal, leather, and plastics—not wood.

The Swiss Confederation presented Eichenberger with Design Awards in 1954, 1957, and 1958—and in 2016 granted him the Grand Award for Design in recognition of his seminal role in shaping the history of furniture and interior design in the 20th century and his influence on multiple generations of designers.  Eichenberger’s works are represented in various collections:  at MoMA in New York, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, and the Museum of Design, Zurich.

STRÄSSLE was founded by Gottfied Srässle in 1886 as a saddlery, upholstery, and coach-building business in the small town of Kirchberg, twenty miles east of Zürich.  Strässle wanted to make upholstered furniture affordable for the middle classes.  (Prior to the end of the 19th century, comfortable, uphosltered furniture was generally produced by carpenters and saddlers by individual order, according to the wishes of strictly wealthy clients.)  His eldest son Josef, who had trained as an interior decorator in Nice, took over the business in 1929 and was joined by his brother Alois the next year.

STRÄSSLE rose to international prominence under the leadership of a third generation in the person of Alex Strässle (b. 1931).  Trained as an upholsterer, he developed the export market and initiated production under foreign license.  STRÄSSLE's twin focus on usability and artistry and its collaborations with with world-renowned designers—Hans Eichenberger, Paul Tuttle (who served under contract from 1967 to 1983), Hans Bellmann, S. L. Bensinge, and André Vandenbeuck, among others—established the company's global reputation.

Groundbreaking designs introduced by STRÄSSLE include the 'Nonna' rocker (1971) and the 'Arco' lounge chair (1976) by Tuttle; the Eichenberger Collection (1978); and Bellmann’s Sitwell line (1950's), made entirely of fiberglass and polyester.  Today the company concentrates primarily on the production of its 'Relax' recliners.

The art of simplification is the omission of artificiality. – HANS EICHENBERGER

Quiet and Effective frother/mixer and Terrific Customer Service
Zulay Kitchen Powerful Milk Frother Wand We ordered two Zulay frother wands and after just several months of continuous usage one of the units stopped working and the other one was sporadically working, where sometimes it would run “full power” and at other times it was barely spinning or turning the beverage. I called Zulay and gave them my Amazon order number. After the Customer Service rep walked me through some minor things to check on the units she was also convinced that the units were probably defective. She had a replacement sent from Zulay along with a mini as a bonus for our troubles! And she had Amazon ship the other replacement unit. Both shipments arrived promptly within days and we have been using them for months now without any major issues. We use the units (the two “standard” wands) almost every day and they get used two to three times a day. They only take ten to twenty seconds to mix up cocoa powder, hot or cold. And the same goes for different protein powder shakes. What I especially like about these units is that there have been many times when I have had to use them off-hours, like between 5:00 and 6:00 AM. They are Whisper quiet so nobody gets disturbed. One generally can’t do this level of quiet stirring/mixing with a kitchen hand blender/mixer or shake blenders. These Zulay mixing units have really come in “handy” for us. We are very Grateful to Amazon for their prompt delivery, and especially to the Customer Service representative at Zulay for her help, and to Zulay for standing behind their products and providing us with terrific and prompt Customer Service! Thank you! Cheers! November 3, 2025

Powerful and silent!
Color: Lux Metallic Blue, Size: Rechargeable Z1 Motor Max
Wow, call me impressed! I just got the rechargeable version in blue and it's gorgeous! The metal shaft is thick, high quality and long enough to reach the bottom of a tall mug. And the double whip end works like magic. I had a cheaper frother (another brand) and this one blows it away! I couldn't even get much of a froth with my other one and having to hold the button the whole time was annoying. One press of this button and my milk was frothed in seconds. I didn't even use the higher setting! My morning latte is very happy.

Powerful, rechargeable battery, easy to use & clean
Color: Lux Absolute Silver, Size: Rechargeable Z1 Motor Max
2 speeds, easy to change back and forth to different speeds with one click , easily blends 1/4 cup protein powder in 12 oz milk on low speed. Easy to clean: Stick blending wand in tall glass with warm water + dish soap, turn on low speed to clean easily (don’t stick the part that holds the battery in glass). Also of note, chosen by Americas Test Kitchen as best milk frother but I use it to make protein shakes.
