velt - contemporary shoes using classical production methods
Alex Rückheim
'Velt is a footwear label created by designers Stefan Rechsteiner and Patrick Rüegg, exploring the possibilities of producing contemporary shoes using classical production methods. Their success lies in the combination of their creative ideas and their conceptual dialogue, allowing them to achieve their desired goals whilst simultaneously using suitable materials. Patrick Rüegg and Stefan Rechsteiner share the same belief that design and manufacturing must go hand in hand to create a holistic product. they develop their ideas and prototypes in their Berlin design studio, which are then manufactured in their factory in Switzerland.'
