Stamps Series «Colours of Switzerland»

Graphic designer Felix Pfäffli didn’t just select the colours, but intentionally captured moods: the main colour is supplemented by two to three shades so that each stamp conveys an atmosphere, light and memory. A particular challenge was the small format: every shade had to cover just a few square centimetres and every colour gradient had to have an impact. Each stamp is printed in a special colour, followed by further gradients using the CMYK process – a small masterpiece of technical precision. For Pfäffli, the set is also a piece of personal memory: his love of stamps began with his grandfather, who showed him how to collect and sort them. Today, he combines tradition, technology and creativity in his work. And with the shades of Swiss colour, he not only creates a printed product, but a miniature full of stories that you can feel at first glance.
