Peter Wirz
Peter Wirz was born in 1960 in the Swiss city of Brienz. He graduated in mechanical engineering. Prior to this, before he began focusing on industrial design, he was a successful sports player.
Peter Wirz created MIO ceramics, for the JIKA brand under the banner of the Swiss studio Process Product Design. MIO ceramics feature a compact design while at the same time meeting the special needs of the disabled. Wirz also gave the best-selling series, JIKA LYRA, a new image, creating the LYRA PLUS series. “LYRA became synonymous with high quality at a reasonable price. The innovation consisted of straightening curves, reshaping corner areas and an overall modernization”, says the designer himself.
