Atlantis
From Trix und Robert Haussmann
Material: Recycled Wool
Application areas: Residential
In 1986, Trix and Robert Haussmann breathed new life into the lobby of the Hotel Atlantis in Zurich with an artistically designed carpet and furniture that made history. ATLANTIS tells the story of how this visionary design came about and brings together realised and previously unseen designs – between lived space and unbuilt ideas.
The comprehensive and multifaceted archive of Trix and Robert Haussmann – rich in previously unpublished sketches and designs – forms the basis of the COLLECTION TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN by Ruckstuhl. The collection was developed at the beginning of this year in close collaboration with Trix Haussmann in order to showcase the aesthetic principles and design intentions of the visionary duo in all their depth and originality.
Ruckstuhl combines this piece of Swiss design history with forward-looking material innovation: the TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN COLLECTION is the world's first rug collection whose top layer is made from 60% recycled wool – sourced from discarded garments (post-consumer material, such as high-quality winter coats).

Trix und Robert Haussmann
Trix (*1933) and Robert Haussmann (*1931; †2021) are among the most influential figures in Swiss architecture and design. With their Manierismo Critico – critical questioning of the familiar – they broke with design and architectural conventions through playful seriousness and subtle humour, leaving a lasting mark. Their work plays with perception, surprises and challenges the senses.
We have transferred these works to the new COLLECTION TRIX & ROBERT HAUSSMANN by Ruckstuhl in close collaboration with Trix Haussmann. The designs were personally curated by her to authentically preserve the design principles and creative depth of this visionary duo and bring them to life in a new way.
