Design in Frankfurt 1920–1990
€19.00*
Modern Design in Frankfurt/Main – the other "Bauhaus""Less, but better": The motto of the Frankfurt designer Dieter Rams is still topical today – and very much so. In the face of rapid globalization and an increasing number of premium product consumers, the question on the resources and the longevity of products inevitably arises.The book outlines the prevalent design trends in Frankfurt and in the Rhine-Main-area from the 1920s to the 1980s. For furniture, interior and graphic design made in and around Frankfurt over seven decades, functionality, visuaö strength, austerity, aestethics in clear shapes and the visionary element always plays a major role. This first compact illustration of regional design also raises the question, to what extent German design in the 20th century defined itself through decentralized but intensively interlinked places and institutions.Catalogue of the exhibition in the Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt.Search inside on ISSUU.com
Mayhaus – The Model House of the Neues Frankfurt
€24.00*
The mayhaus in Frankfurt's Römerstadt is the only residential building in the style of the Neues Frankfurt of the 1920s that has been completely restored. The book explains the functions of the model house using current photographs and historical plans. Via the text level, which zooms from the city via the housing estate and then the street into the building, the mayhaus, including the famous Frankfurt kitchen, is classified in terms of architectural history and socio-cultural aspects. Philipp Sturm and Christina Treutlein are the managing
directors of ernst-may-gesellschaft e.V. Sturm is a political scientist and since 2008 a freelance curator and author at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt/Main. Treutlein is an art historian and is currently working on her dissertation on Carl-Hermann Rudloff, an architect of the Neues Frankfurt, who was responsible for the Römerstadt and especially for the mayhaus.Search inside on ISSUU.com
