Who We Are<\/h2>\n

The Heinz Julen Shop<\/a>, now under the Zermatt Selection<\/a> umbrella, promotes and sells products that represent the essence of Zermatt through the eyes of local artist, designer and architect Heinz Julen, including his own unique designs!<\/p>\n

We are based in the beautiful resort of Zermatt, Switzerland under the majestic Matterhorn. While Zermatt is famous for its skiing and culinary scene, it is also where we design and build unique furniture, impressive chandeliers and much more.<\/p>\n

Since December 2019 the shop is located on the Zermatt’s bustling main street and welcomes visitors daily, browsing the various products on display, admiring the latest art exhibition, or jut looking to take a piece of Heinz’s Zermatt home with them.<\/p>\n

We sell a number of products including original furniture, lights and chandeliers, accessories, Zermatt souvenirs and art![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2908″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_column_text]We are also associated with and can provide more information about Heinz Julen Art<\/a> (information about\u00a0 the artists’s portfolio, sales, exhibitions, etc.) and Heinz Julen Architecture<\/a> (information about all completed designs and consultation on new projects)[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1607200598583{background-image: url(https:\/\/heinzjulen.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/white-textured-background.jpg?id=1717) !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2905″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our Story<\/h2>\n

It all begun back in the 50s, when August Julen, a mountain guide and owner of a restaurant high up in the mountains at Findeln, above Zermatt (2100m above sea-level), was accustomed to seeing important people call in at his small restaurant. But Mr Heinz of \u201cHeinz Ketchup\u201d fame was different and it was as a mark of friendship that August promised him that if he had a son one day, he would call him \u201cHeinz\u201d. And that is what he did on the 29 February 1964 when, after the birth of his first daughter, Vrony, his wife gave birth to a son, Heinz Julen, followed by the birth of two more daughters named Leni and Moni.<\/p>\n

But it is not only his first name or his date of birth which distinguish Heinz Julen as a rare kind of person. Brought up in a close-knit family, deeply rooted in the region, and in which religion holds and important place, he maintains a rare relationship with his surroundings marked by a spirituality which gives his works such an individual dimension and makes Heinz Julen an exceptional artist with an extraordinary career.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
