Egon Eiermann - Die Möbel

This illustrated book showcases an important aspect of Egon Eiermann's (1904-1970) design work. The viewer can be fascinated by how constructive creativity and material awareness come together in designs that often gained recognition as modern classics right from the start. His pragmatism in collaboration with industry and the boldness of his visual ideas make him a unique figure. It is only through this combination that he was able to significantly influence the history of German design. The authors, Dr. Arthur Mehlstäubler, Prof. Wulf Schirmer, and Brigitte Eiermann, present various aspects of Eiermann's interior architectural work and contextualize the furniture pieces within their phases of creation and the temporal environment. This charming publication now illustrates that Eiermann also played a crucial role in writing a significant chapter of German design history.
