The Deutscher Werkbund movement was an era based on German design and seen in Germany and Austria between 1892-1910. This movements purpose was to have the highest quality for the mass produced product in their designs. Deutscher Werkbund was the equivalent to the Arts and Crafts movement and went against the Art Nouveau's style of artistic design. The overall design were more idealistic and simple compared to past designs.
Above is the image of the Werkbund exhibition of 1914, I chose to display this image because I think it is a great example of this movement. This building shows the unique features of this movement while also being simple, idealistic, and functional.

The above image is an example of one of Josef Hoffman's furniture designs during the Deutscher and Werkbund movement. This chair displays the common design of this movements style.
The below images is a current application example of Josef Hoffman's furniture designs.
For this design movement I viewed Ali and Sammy's blogs. Ali discussed her fascination with the design work of Joseph Olbrich and I found that part of her blog very interesting as she explored his many different design elements. Sammy discussed the many different designers of this time, Olbrich, Klimt, and Wagner and their impact on the Deutscher Werkbund style. Overall both of these blog posts were interesting and broadened my views on the Deutscher Werkbund design era.
