Michael Mettler
The designer Michael Mettler was born in 1970 in St. Gallen, Switzerland. In 1990, he began studying architecture at Cornell University, New York and ETH Zurich, graduating in 1997 with a degree in architecture. After graduating, Michael Mettler initially worked for Herzog & de Meuron and Burkhalter Sumi Architekten. He has been running his own company in Zurich since 2000.
The creation of the MAUDE bed, designed by Mettler, was less a planned design than a surprising coincidence. Commissioned by a friend to design a double bed, Michael Mettler created a multifunctional piece of bedroom furniture made of high-quality materials, which is also extremely attractive thanks to its minimalist design.
