How did architects come to design the interiors for their buildings? The history of this architect-designed furniture became established mainly at the beginning of the 20th century. The idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk sheds light on the fascinating interplay between space and object. When visionaries such as Mies van der Rohe or Marcel Breuer designed furniture, it was about more than mere craftsmanship: it was about carrying architectural principles into the interior. The MAKK has iconic exhibits with which the question of the functionality behind the aesthetics can be explored.
