{"product_id":"14679-wilhelm-wagenfeld-19001990","title":"Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900-1990)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilhelm Wagenfeld was undisputably a great pioneer of German industrial design. Like no other member of his guild, he met the special challenge posed by manufacturing processes and market conditions of mass-produced goods with unmatched professionality and inventiveness. Today, many of his clear, functional designs are considered beautifully timeless classics: the Bauhaus lamp, for instance, which has lost nothing of its appeal and which Wagenfeld designed when he was barely 24 years old and still a student at the Weimar Bauhaus, his stackable Kubus crockery from 1938, or his salt and pepper shakers \u0026quot;Max and Moritz\u0026quot;, known for their smooth grip, which he designed in 1952 for WMF. Wagenfeld´s 100th birthday is the occasion to present his oeuvre in a book, for the first time within the context of works by distinguished contemporaries of his, allowing both for a new appreciation and comparative re-evaluation of the unique qualities of his works. An essay about Wagenfeld´s reception today illustrates the undiminished relevance of his ideas and designs, which have left no small mark on the appearance of today´s everyday objects.
