ROTAUF x DRÜEGG Collaboration
Swiss glaciers have lost more than 6 percent of their ice volume this year. Previously, years with 2 percent ice loss were considered extreme.
Even before this bad news became public in the fall, we had decided together with the St. Gallen illustrator and street artist DRÜ EGG - based on our own experiences in the mountains - to make the melting of the glaciers the theme of our latest artist collaboration.
The result of the collaboration is a print design in DRÜ EGG's unmistakable style, which now features on our Merino Silk T-shirts and draws attention to the precarious situation of the Swiss glaciers.
