Dafi Khune: Poster Cult Book Talk & Signing

Poster House is pleased to welcome back esteemed graphic designer and letterpress printer Dafi Kühne. At this event, he will be in conversation with Executive Director and Curator Angelina Lippert to celebrate the launch of his new book, Poster Cult. Dafi Kühne is one of Switzerland’s foremost poster designers and his bold, varied work embraces both traditional production tools and modern design technique. Poster Cult features a foreword by Angelina Lippert and focuses on the processes, background, and context that inform Kühne’s recent poster work. Books will be available for signing at the end of the event.

Dafi Kühne ( born 1982) studied Visual Communication at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and holds a Research Masters Degree in Typeface Design from the University of Reading, England. Since 2009, he has been working full-time in his studio babyinktwice.ch in the Swiss Alps. Kühne uses a combination of analog and digital tools to create posters for music, art, architecture, theater, and film projects as well as for consumer products. He is guided by one central restriction: “No digital PDF ever leaves the studio as a final product.” Dafi Kühne prints all his posters using analog letterpress printing presses.
