A place to enjoy beautiful, useful and/or curious everyday objects. A steel filing cabinet designed by Alfredo Häberli and manufactured by Girsberger has 130 drawers that pull out in all directions, together with a selection of glass viewing panels. These provide the ideal opportunity for visitors to experience the items on display according to their own individual interests.

A raised platform with a seamless coating to match the filing cabinet stands in a central location, and can be used to display larger exhibits such as the SBB station clock.
