About
Why this artist matters now
Wohnbedarf AG was a Swiss design and manufacturing firm founded in Zurich in 1931 that operated as a laboratory for modernist domestic interiors and mass-production methodology. Functioning as both retailer and manufacturer, the company commissioned and produced work by leading Swiss and international designers, with its showroom serving as a testing ground for functionalist principles applied to everyday objects and spatial arrangement. The firm played a significant role in establishing design methodology for postwar European interiors.
