Marcel Noverraz was a member of the Swiss Werkbund with numerous exhibitions in the L'Oeuvre. His objects bear witness to his inventiveness in terms of form, motifs and materials. He created a versatile production on the pulse of the times, which was also influenced by modernism in the interwar period. See also the references below.
