Velt S/S’14: Silently Still Stephanie AndersonJanuary 14, 20141 viewsdesignFashionfootwearmenswearStyle0 Comments1 views velt is a footwear label designed by Stefan Rechsteiner and Patrick Rüegg that explores the possibilities of new, contemporary shoe design produced using classic methods. Its success is based on a creative idea and conceptual dialogue that allows the appropriate results to be accomplished with conventional materials. The results of their work are collector‘s items, which, despite their conservative nature, boast a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ and can be combined with everyday wear. Velt’s high standards, and the young label‘s efforts to develop a shoe for today, were recognised by the jury of the most prestigious design award in Switzerland: with their debut collection, Velt won one of the 2013’s swiss Federal Design Award. Patrick Rüegg and Stefan Rechsteiner insist that design and manufacturing coexist, because only then can a holistic product be fashioned. The duo develop their ideas and prototypes in their Berlin design studio, and these are then manufactured in their factory in Switzerland. Avery Parker Click here for more information.
