Otti Berger Weaving for Modernist Architecture - Key Member of the Textile Workshop
Bauhaus, Otti Berger was also an entrepreneur in frenetic Berlin
from the 1930s. In close collaboration with architects from the New
Objectivity like Lilly Reich, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she has
designed upholstery and wall hangings, curtains and
floor coverings, rethinking the relationship between form and function. To date,
Otti Berger's textile work has only been partially explored. This book is
the first complete study on her; it notably contains her unpublished treatise
on textiles and textile production methodology. Organized by fabric
fabric, depending on the use of each, this work offers a perspective
completely new on the work of Otti Berger and underlines the artisanal and
entrepreneurial in his work.
