A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at the Bauhaus, she was also a female entrepreneur in the frenzied time that was the early 1930s in Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking closely with architects of the New Objectivity movement, such as Lilly Reich, Ludwig Hilberseimer, and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery and wall tapestries, curtains, and floor coverings that responded to novel types of use and production methods, thereby redefining the relationship between aesthetics and function—with fascinating results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo date, Berger's textile work has only been explored in fragments. \u003cem\u003eOtti Berger: Weaving for Modernist Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e is the first comprehensive study of its complexity and beauty, making her hitherto unpublished treatise on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible. By systematically arranging the fabrics according to their application, Raum's research offers an entirely new perspective on Berger's oeuvre that emphasises the craftsmanship and entrepreneurial side of her work and appreciates the largely unrecognised significance of textiles in the history of architecture and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833405591788,"sku":"9783775755009","price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9339813483532.jpg?v=1758455642","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/otti-berger-weaving-for-modernist-architecture-9783775755009","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
