They can be found in numerours museums all around the world – in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, in the MAK in Vienna and of course in the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt – the »Frankfurt Kitchen« - designed by architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky.

The »Frankfurter Küche« is not an isolated design-object. Rather, it is the nucleus of the building program of Landmann-appointed Frankfurt city building councilor and architect Ernst May and his team, which resulted in 12,000 apartments in the style of a new kind of modernism in just five years. May's ambition was to create a high level of living comfort with a minimized floor plan size, to make the construction itself and thus the rents as inexpensive as possible, which is still the challenge for urban planning and development today.

Seven thorough looks into the small kitchen with the big design-historical background. (And at the same time a second intensive look into Frankfurt's Ernst May houses, one of which houses our publishing house and is the main protagonist in our book "Ein Pärchen im Baurausch" (A couple in a building frenzy) as a conversion object ...).

In cooperation with the ernst-may-gesellschaft e.V. and the Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt.
