About
Why this artist matters now
Lilly Reich was a German designer and architect who worked across furniture, textiles, and interior spatial design in the modernist idiom. Active from the 1920s onward, she collaborated closely with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and developed a refined approach to material articulation and geometric proportion that became foundational to the Bauhaus and International Style movements. Her work emphasized the expressive potential of elemental materials, clean lines, and functional clarity. Reich's interiors and objects remain central to modernist design history.
