5/5 V&A Storehouse

The first fitted #kitchen from Frankfurt in 1926. Designed by Margarete (Grete) Schütte-Lihotzky and seen as radically #modernist at the time. Wonderful to see it so well displayed at #VAStorehouse

@nigelpstanley I want this.

I especially love the pantry drawers (the square metal things midway up on the right)

@nigelpstanley @kim_harding Always interesting to see the old as a very different "new".

@nigelpstanley interesting at a time when I guess there were very few female industrial or furniture designers.

@AndyDearden I'm no expert but I guess that it may have been one of the first times that someone who used a domestic kitchen and who had the right skills was asked to design one. Frankfurt was an interesting place at that time.
