The sense of heat below the surface of her minimalist designs underlines her passion for the subject. Her work is in the collections of the Design Museum (Munich), the National Gallery of Victoria, the Dallas Museum of Art, and Museum of Arts and Design (New York).

The publication presents for the first time Otto Kunzli's highly diverse oeuvre. It includes hundreds of jewellery objects as well as interdisciplinary conceptual works from the artist's various creative phases. An extraordinary artist's book designed in close collaboration with Otto Kunzli and Die Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich. Otto Kunzli was born in 1948 in Zurich, Switzerland.
