A life for the glass
Roberto Niederer is a Swiss glass artist. Born 1928 as a Swiss citizen in Naples, italy and died 1988 in Catanzaro / Calabria, Italy, he lived in Zurich, Hergiswil at lake Lucerne and Sellia Marina / Calabria Italy.
He described himself as eternal emigrant and autodidactic glass fool. Despite 60 years of age and 45 years working in glass, he still felt at the beginning.
As a designer and artistic director of Glasi Hergiswil, Roberto Niederer coined with his unmistakable handwriting the style of Glasi Hergiswil. He mastered many forms of expression of the glass and understood how to translate strange ideas into glass, to translate them into the language of the glass. Roberto Niederer is distinguished for his own design collection, whose glasses and objects captivate with the clear lines. The collection is produced and distributed by Glasi Hergiswil.
Roberto Niederer has lived for glass and glassi. His motto was as a craftsman and human to make glass for people.

Until 1975 under the name of the brothers
Siegwart.

In 1988 his then 34-year-old son Robert took over
the management of the Glasi Hergiswil. Together

"Without Roberto Niederers
Will power, without his conviction,
His heart blood, his artistic work,
the Glasi Hergiswil wouldn't
be, what it is today: Europe-wide
and a gem for Hergiswil. �
