World of the Bauhaus icon: Experience Marianne Brandt in Chemnitz!

A special exhibition is opening in the heart of Chemnitz that deals with the life and work of the extraordinary Marianne Brandt. This important German metal designer, born in Chemnitz in 1893, made a name for herself in the design world, particularly as part of the Bauhaus movement. Their designs range from elegant everyday items such as tea extract pots and ashtrays to stylish tea and coffee services. Their multi-faceted lamps, which have made them famous, are particularly outstanding.

The exhibition in the Marianne Brandt House, located at Heinrich-Beck-Straße 22, offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the creative world of this designer. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The presentation is not only a tribute to Brandt's work, but also an opportunity to appreciate the artistic and technical craftsmanship of this period that went into her products.

Insights into the work

Marianne Brandt is considered one of the most important figures of the 20th century in the world of design. The Chemnitz-born designer and metal designer was instrumental in integrating Bauhaus thinking into industrial production. Her works are not only functional but also aesthetically well thought out. Her goal has always been to combine everyday practicality with art, which is reflected in the minimalist yet elegant designs of her pieces.

In the exhibition, the audience will be able to view various originals of her works. From iconic lamps to everyday objects crafted using innovative techniques, Brandt's creative process and her influence on contemporary design are highlighted. Photos and documents from her life are also presented, which provide an interesting insight into her visions and challenges.

The Marianne Brandt Society is proud to present this retrospective, which not only captures Brandt's relevance in design, but also inspires young designers and art enthusiasts. A visit to the exhibition on October 8th is considered an enrichment for anyone interested in design history and its evolutionary course.
