In 1919, they followed their teacher to the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar and completed their studies there four years later. They subsequently founded the Workshops for the Fine Arts in Berlin-Friedenau, where they created stage sets, theater costumes, textiles, book bindings, and jewelry. In 1925, they returned to Vienna to establish their artistically productive studio collective there. It was here that they created furniture designs, interior designs, and buildings.” (Bauhaus-Archiv Museum website). — Acquired in 1989 from the estate of Franz Singer. — In impeccable condition.
