Volkshaus Basel
Architecture & Design
Volkshaus Basel is an architectural statement with history. This listed property was reinterpreted by Herzog & de Meuron - respectful of its heritage, yet free of nostalgia. The spaces combine structural clarity with sensual materiality: raw walls, soft fabrics, precise detailing, and
bespoke design pieces created by the architects themselves.
Contemporary Art
Art at Volkshaus Basel is not accompaniment, but substance. The Imi Bar - named after the renowned German artist and sculptor Imi Knoebel, who designed its striking glass windows - serves as both an artistic and architectural statement. The property also houses a significant collection of contemporary art, featuring works by Franz Gertsch, Daisy Parris, Imi Knoebel, and other international positions.
Quality Products
At Volkshaus, every object is deliberate - not staged, but designed for purposeful use. Amenities by Soeder, furniture by HorgenGlarus, lighting by Artemide, and selected pieces by ClassiCon exemplify
the house’s commitment to timeless design, functionality, and sustainable production.
Community
In line with the WACollection philosophy, a community of art- and culture-minded individuals has formed here - sustained through quarterly art events that open the house to artists, collectors, creatives, guests, and hosts alike.
