The Bureau
Bureau Purée is not just an office, but also a workshop and idea lab for residential objects and exhibits: Our designer collective consists of Miriam Frei, Hans-Kaspar and Thomas Frischknecht. By putting our ideas, perceptions and expertise to work since 2011, we've built a solid base for new concepts.
Bureau Purée's first collection centered around light and transparency. Initially, we used industrial semifinished products and materials such as cable conduit or laboratory glass. In a new context and functionality, these products ended up far away from their original purpose. The result of our work are lamps and objects for various living spaces. We focus on form, function and utilization. While technics and engineering form the core of our work, our objects shine with aesthetics and ambiance. At Bureau Purée, designing our products is not only desk work: We also implement, test and refine our ideas in our own workshop. Our approach allows us to produce small series of objects, as well as individual items.
Bureau Purée loves to experiment, implement, and strive for new perspectives and attitudes within Switzerland's Design scene. Our work process is successive and experimental in its character. Our aim is to combine our passion and attitude in order to continue creating new ideas and introduce those to the Swiss design scene.
