stamped

On September 6, 2018, the Swiss Post will issue a new permanent-use stamp. It features the Huttwil train station we designed! As part of the “Swiss Train Stations” series of permanent stamps, the stamps depict preserved stations from the early days of the railroads, as well as typical structures from various eras and those with distinctive features. According to Antoinette Feh Widmer of Swiss Post, the new Huttwil train station was selected because it was rebuilt using new materials while staying true to the original architectural structure. However, regional representation was also taken into account during the selection process. According to Antoinette Feh Widmer, the Huttwil station represents the Mittelland-Emmental axis (Langenthaler Tagblatt, August 27, 2018).
