Kitchen Culture
About the Exhibition
It is almost 100 years from the first fitted kitchen to the individually configured kitchen of today. A long time in which designers have repeatedly developed new solutions and thus responded to the changes in society and our everyday lives. The spectrum ranges from the simple cooking cell to the kitchen as communicative center of the living area.
The design milestones of kitchen history are presented from the Neue Sammlung’s extensive holdings: Grete Schütte-Lihotzky’s Frankfurt kitchen marks the beginning, followed by developments at the Bauhaus and the postwar period, Le Corbusier’s kitchen for the Unité d’habitation in Marseille or Arne Jacobsen’s Interbau kitchen in Berlin. Stefan Wewerka’s Kitchen Tree or Herbert H. Schultes’ Workbench stand for new approaches, which, together with J-Gast’s Kitchen, reach into our immediate present and convey a picture of the diversity of today’s requirements, new ideas and design concepts.
In view of the 100th anniversary, Die Neue Sammlung is setting new thematic priorities in its rooms.
