Tazzarte x Albert Schild Interlaken: A Partnership Steeped in Tradition and Innovation

Tazzarte x Albert Schild Interlaken: A Partnership Steeped in Tradition and Innovation

Welcome to a journey where art meets the alpine setting of Interlaken. Tazzarte works with Albert Schild AG, a souvenir shop that has served travellers and locals for over 125 years. In the heart of Interlaken, this family business — now run by my brother — offers more than souvenirs: it is a place where Swiss craft is still sold across a counter.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Albert Schild AG in Interlaken, historical view of the shop

Albert Schild AG, established in the nineteenth century, has been part of Interlaken's commercial life ever since. Known for Swiss memorabilia — carved wooden work, watches, local pieces — the shop is a natural place for a collection that puts art on an object made to be used.

Tazzarte in Interlaken

What this means in practice: when you are in Interlaken, you can see and hold the mugs before deciding. On display is a selection with a local accent — among them motifs connected to Goethe's visit to Interlaken, vintage travel posters of the Berner Oberland, and views of the lakes and mountains.

Why go

  • See the object. Photographs flatten porcelain. The glaze, the weight and the way the print sits on the curve are things you can only judge in the hand.
  • Before you order online. Useful if you want to check one piece in person before choosing others from the full collection.
  • Local stories. The history of Albert Schild AG runs through several generations and is worth hearing on the spot.
  • The full collection. The shop carries a selection; everything else can be ordered from tazzarte.com and shipped to you.

Come and see us

Next time you are in Interlaken — skiing, hiking, biking, or simply looking at the mountains — stop by Albert Schild AG. You will find Swiss souvenirs of long standing, and a shelf of mugs that carry documented works of art.
