About
« On the model, I always try to be as close as possible to the materials used: walnut, cast iron, glass, stone. »
Hugo Lienhard is a model maker specializing in historical reconstructions. After training in precision mechanics, he was brought in 1989 to create a model for the Cantonal Museum of Archeology and History (MCAH) of the Canton of Vaud. Since then, he has collaborated with numerous museums in French-speaking Switzerland, such as the Latenium, the Musée du Léman and the Swiss Camera Museum.
« I have a taste for manual work, I love working with my hands. »
Hugo Lienhard’s workshop is renowned for the meticulousness of its reconstructions. A lover of gliders and metal music, he manages to give the illusion of stone, wood, metal or glass by using as far as possible the original materials of the reconstituted elements.
