Family business since 1980
Bösiger Art is the stone sculptor business of Beat Bösiger with a studio in Urdorf and postal address in Disentis/Mustér. The sole proprietorship, founded in 1980, produces gravestones made to customer requirements, stone pictures, sculptures up to monuments of 30–40 tonnes, garden fountains, restorations as well as awards, prizes and interior art. Beat Bösiger works with hand milling machines in a technique of his own, with which he works the stone quickly and bypasses additional work steps; his daughter Adriana Bösiger, who is completing her apprenticeship as a stone sculptor in the business, focuses on filigree stone work. The studio combines traditional sculptural craftsmanship with modern techniques and aids. Works of the business have been shown in exhibitions in Switzerland and abroad.
