Finally made it to the V&A East Storage where I swooned at the Frankfurt Kitchen. These were designed by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky for German social housing in 1926 and were the forerunner of the ‘fitted kitchen’. Such beautiful simplicity.

100 Years of Neues Bauen (2/3) - The Super-Kitchen - Watch the full documentary | ARTE in English A century ago, modern architecture was born with idealistic architects wanting to build decent and affordable housing for all. This episode looks at the Frankfurt Kitchen, a design by Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky for social housing where everything is within easy reach.

Very much inclined towards the view we've gone backwards since the Frankfurt Kitchen.
