Stefan Heuss
Heuss Innovation Centre
The ‘Heuss Innovation Centre’ is bringing Switzerland’s tradition of tinkering into the digital age. Even though we leave a lot to AI these days, someone still has to take care of the technical optimisation of our analogue everyday lives.
No challenge is too complex for chief inventor Stefan Heuss to find creative technical solutions. The bizarre cumbersomeness and questionable reliability of his inventions are sure to raise a laugh and seem to solve every problem.
Stefan Heuss, the innovation comedian known from the programme “Giacobbo/Müller”, presents not only gadgets from his own workshop but also a selection of his favourite inventions from the depths of the patent archives – good ideas that never made it into the limelight of the shop shelves.
The musical interludes provide a contrast to Heuss’s stories and technical explanations. Stefan Heuss’s new musical stage partner is the Biel-based musician Lukas Keller. He plays raw blues, folk and electro grooves on the bass and all manner of keyboard instruments.
The mix, combined with Heuss’s abstruse array of instruments – such as cordless screwdrivers, singing jigsaws and ringing tennis rackets – creates a sound genre all of its own.
Another band member is the brand-new ‘Heussbox’. It is a complex musical control system for electrical and pneumatic devices such as vacuum cleaners, electric toothbrushes, milk frothers, smoothie blenders and recorders, and expands the musical spectrum with mechanical techno, hip-hop and disco sounds.
Comedy, music and mechanics.
The building at Hechtplatz 7 will undergo renovation from January 2026. During this time, we will be presenting our programme at Haus Seefeld (Seefeldstrasse 91, 8008 Zurich).
