Jürg Bally

The Swiss architect and furniture designer Jürg Bally (1923-2002) studied architecture and gained experience in the offices of Alfred Roth and Le Corbusier before founding his own architecture and design office in Zurich in 1953. He became known above all for the 'Ess.Tee.Tisch' (also called S.T. Tisch), designed in 1951, a height-adjustable lifting table with a crank mechanism that can be set to seven positions between dining and coffee table height. The frame is made of turned maple, the top of oak veneer or linoleum. The table was produced first by Bally himself, then by the Werkgenossenschaft Wohnhilfe Zürich and finally by Horgenglarus until the 1990s. Bally also worked as a freelance designer for Knoll International and designed further furniture programmes such as the shelving system 'Spannstützen' and the seating series 'Così'.
