Details

Harry Boller
Harri Boller (born 1938) is a Swiss-born graphic designer known for his work in corporate identity, typography, and design systems, particularly in the United States. Trained in Switzerland and later working in Chicago, he co-founded Boller/Cassers/Robert and contributed to major identity programmes for corporations and institutions. His work reflects the influence of Swiss modernism, characterised by clarity, structure, and typographic precision, applied to branding, packaging, and exhibition design. Boller’s practice demonstrates the international spread of Swiss design principles in the late 20th century. Explore related designers including Max Bill and Karl Gerstner.
