Quite a cute and remarkable object poster by the famous Basel poster designer Peter Birkhauser, who had a strong passion for a graphic style of precision and the difficult airbrush technique.

The Air-Ba summer sandalettes were produced in a rubber technique to use in the water and were famous in the fifthies to wear by children. The „Armbrust“ or „Arbalette“ logotype was used at the time to promote Swiss Quality.
