In that case. Coop.
Which part of Switzerland are you at?
The safe legal solution is to get new wall sockets, and because you legally have to have an electrician verify the installation, just have an electrician do the installation. Landlords need to be informed, but won’t object if you want to pay and sometimes will be willing to share part of the cost.
You could buy cheap sockets (<5CHF) and install them yourself, but that would create a liability issue for you.
You could also buy an cheap modern adapter, then DIY replace the plastic part with a 3D printed one, but that would compromise safety, create a potential fire hazard, and create a liability issue.
Sadly no longer allowed to be sold
There is a newer version that sticks out more
Your best bet is asking some older people you know if they have an old one of these somewhere at home.
Or make a post on tutti or whatever site that you are looking for one of these.
Pokemon Go, if you catch the right one

I want two of those (they would be behind a piece of furniture, so no security risk to speak of)
Our house got renovated in 2010 and the &£!@ electrician installed a lot of flat-faced sockets. I was too busy to notice and complain…

edit: Did not find it in coop
This one is not available and forbidden because of missing safety frame around the female side
Could you elaborate what hinders you to use [those](https://www.landi.ch/shop/elektromaterial_170201/winkeladapter-t12-t13-weiss_18603) in an old T12 socket (which, BTW, ist still in accordance with the Swiss electrical code until the socket has to be replaced…) instead?
These were only available 20years ago
