Why Not. **If you love tennis, appreciate minimalism, and want an iconic sports moment on your wall – then this poster is made for you.** ### The Curse of Hawk-Eye The Hawk-Eye knows no mercy. Developed in 2001 by British mathematician Paul Hawkins, the computer-assisted, millimeter-precise ball-tracking system shatters the dreams of players and spectators alike. A brutally honest moment: when the camera zooms in to 1000% and relentlessly reveals whether the ball caught the line or not. One person’s curse is another’s blessing. ### The Poetry of the Millimeter As unforgiving as this moment may be – to my graphic designer's heart, it is pure aesthetics: a red surface, a white line, and the shadow of the ball – a radical reduction to the essential. Ultimately, Swiss tennis and Swiss graphic design share a defining trait: both stand for a successful tradition of precision that has written global history. ### An Ode to Swiss Tennis Switzerland has shaped the sport of tennis like few other nations: whether Patty Schnyder, Martina Hingis, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, or Belinda Bencic – this poster brings the magic of Swiss tennis tradition to your wall in a minimalist style. # Tennis Poster - The Curse of Hawk-Eye Price: **CHF 85.00** (Incl.

My passion for tennis and my love for minimalist graphic design met perfectly here. The visual magic of the Hawk-Eye moment had been floating around in my mind for a long time. The result is a visual homage to the legendary tennis line. I briefly show how it came to be in [this video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD88b7Rppjs) ## Thanks to its reduced, minimalist design and bold color planes, the poster unfolds its impact in a wide variety of spaces. It comes into its own best in the large F4 world format in spacious rooms – such as a living room, loft apartment, tennis lounge, or fitness studio. ## This design is created for people who share a passion for two worlds: tennis and minimalist design. It appeals to tennis fans just as much as design and architecture enthusiasts. In short: the perfect gift for aesthetes who carry a love for tennis in their heart. ## The tennis poster is available in the following sizes: - **DIN A2** (42.0 × 59.4 cm) – High-quality paper print - **DIN A1** (59.4 × 84.1 cm) – High-quality paper print - **Big size F4** (89.5 × 128.0 cm) – High-quality paper print, or mounted on Alu-Dibond ## FAQ Products & Shipping ### Your order (provided it is a poster) will be shipped **unframed** in a sturdy cardboard tube. If you have ordered a mounted F4 poster, it will be delivered to you directly by the Bernese printing company Uldry (this service is only available within Switzerland). ### No, I ship my posters without picture frames. However, there are providers with great products that I can recommend. In my opinion, the most beautiful and simplest frames are so-called "Halbe Rahmen" (half-frames). These feature a unique mounting principle using magnetic frames. This allows the pictures to be framed effortlessly without any tools or annoying clips. **Metal Picture Frames** - [Frames for A2 Posters - Classic Black](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl8S4420594#87da348557a83ccd6d6222d00a97b9cf) - [Frames for A1 Posters - Classic Black](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl8S4594840#c158d03dafb44f0d939ecde4fabc8cc9) - [Frames for F4 Posters - Classic Black](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl14S4SF2200#c18626bad896779b69c2393dcec023ef) **Wooden Picture Frames** - [Frames for A2 Posters - Oak Classic](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl10EN4420594#47a98240795a4958f06edaae69312) - [Frames for A1 Posters - Oak Classic](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl10EN4594840#69217591f92a3afc7c539f550821d641) - [Frames for F4 Posters - Oak Classic](https://www.halbe-rahmen.de/classic-magnetrahmen?number=Cl16EN4SF2200#7b17e75badc0f8d3d23ae23a76698acc) With these frames, the formats are cut flush to the poster size. However, it can also look great to choose a larger frame to give the motif more breathing room with a passe-partout (mat board). Real glass can be used for the smaller A2 and A1 formats. For the large F4 world format, I recommend only using Plexiglas for safety reasons. **Please keep in mind:** When dealing with graphic prints on paper, you are looking at a natural product, and tolerances can be +/- 5 mm depending on the size. ### I offer all poster sizes, from the smallest poster format A3 to the world format ("Weltformat") F4. Here is an overview with the most important information: **A3 – The small one (29.7 x 42 cm)** As large as a double A4 sheet. Suitable for cozy niches, smaller rooms, or narrow hallways where the motif can be viewed from up close. **A2 – The small large one (42 x 59.4 cm)** A classic "small poster", as large as a double A3 sheet. This format is frequently seen in Swiss cities for wild postering. It is ideally suited for rooms that have something to say – for the kids' room, the office, or as an eye-catcher in the kitchen. **A1 – The large small one (59.4 x 84.1 cm)** A proper poster. This one isn't really that small anymore. It fits perfectly above the sofa in the living room, next to the dining table, in a practice/office space, or in a spacious entrance hall. **F4 – World format / Weltformat (89.5 x 128 cm)** The flagship for your wall design. The exact same size as the APG street billboards used in Swiss outdoor advertising. An absolute eye-catcher for really large spaces, wide lofts, or minimally furnished rooms. ### Since picture frames in the F4 world format are hardly available in regular retail stores, I offer my F4 posters ready-mounted. The posters are securely mounted onto a sturdy aluminum Dibond (Alu-Dibond) panel. Two U-profiles are pre-installed on the back, making it incredibly easy for you to hang it up using just two nails or screws. This service is handled by my partner printing company [Uldry](https://uldry.ch/produktion.htm) in Hinterkappelen (Bern) and is delivered directly to your home in the highest quality. **Please note:** Due to their size, mounted F4 posters are only delivered within Switzerland. ### Yes – you can find my [Postervault](https://kaspar-allenbach.ch/en/postervault) at Münstergasse, right in the middle of Bern’s lower Old Town.
