Original Description
Emil Cardinaux's In Den Bergen (1908) is a captivating Swiss poster design that epitomizes the golden age of travel advertising. This lithograph transports viewers to the majestic Swiss Alps with its bold, simplified forms and vibrant color blocking—hallmarks of the early Modernist "Sachplakat" (Object Poster) style Cardinaux pioneered. Against a deep midnight blue sky, stylized Alpine peaks glow in gradients of ochre and white, their geometric simplicity conveying both grandeur and accessibility. A lone skier, rendered as a dynamic red silhouette, injects movement into the composition, while the custom lettering below whispers of crisp mountain air and elegant winter sports. More than mere advertisement, this work elevated commercial art to fine art status, influencing generations of graphic designers with its harmonious fusion of Swiss precision and Art Deco flair. Today, it stands as a seminal piece in the history of graphic design, bridging 19th-century lithography and 20th-century visual modernism.
For contemporary interiors, this iconic print shines as a statement piece. Its vertical orientation (typical Swiss poster dimensions around 100x150cm) commands attention in entryways or above mid-century modern consoles, where the rich ultramare background creates depth in small spaces. Pair with warm metallics like brass frames or copper accents to echo the golden peaks, or contrast with streamlined white furniture for gallery-like impact. In home offices, a smaller-scale reproduction (40x60cm) above a walnut desk channels sophisticated Alpine minimalism, while the color palette naturally complements rooms featuring sapphire velvet sofas or terracotta textiles. For cohesive styling, extend the mountain motif with angular ceramic vases or a faux-fur throw, letting Cardinaux’s century-old design dialogue effortlessly with both rustic and contemporary decor schemes.
