Hans Gugelot

Hans Gugelot (1 April 1920 – 10 September 1965) was an Indonesian-born, German engineer and industrial designer known for his modernist consumer products.

In 1934, the Gugelot family moved to Davos, Switzerland for Hans's father's job as a physician.

Between 1940 and 1942 Gugelot studied architecture in Lausanne, and graduated as an architect from Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH), Zurich in 1946.

[4][5] In 1950 he founded his own office and began work on the design of the "M125" shelving and storage system for Bofinger, a product for which he later became known.

Gugelot is closely identified with Hochschüle für Gestaltung (HfG) in Ulm, Germany.
