Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, The Frankfurt Kitchen, 1926.

Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky’s compact design for the Frankfurt Kitchen, the archetype of the modern kitchen, is impressive above all for its rational simplicity and streamlining of work processes. An exact reproduction of the seminal Frankfurt Kitchen of 1926 produced in collaboration with the famous architect is on permanent display in the Study Collection.
