DU BAUHAUS A L'INDUSTRIE:
OBJETS QUOTIDIENS
Wilhelm Wagenfeld
Wilhelm Wagenfeld: DU BAUHAUS A L'INDUSTRIE: OBJETS QUOTIDIENS. Paris: Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, 1973. First edition. Text in French. A near-fine softcover book with printed stiff wrappers: minor shelf wear. Spine glue is pretty brittle. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print and rather uncommon. 8.25 x 11.75 softcover book with 134 pages with 617 small b/w line drawings and approx. 125 b/w photos of his products. All of Wagenfeld's designs are represented with year of manufacture, materials, and dimensions. I suspect this information might be useful to somebody out there.
An exhaustive look at the work of Wilhelm Wagenfeld, the most successful industrial designer to come out of the Bauhaus. Apparently, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy saw Wagenfeld's career as betraying Bauhaus principles. You be the judge. Foreword by Brigitte Klesse.
Wagenfeld's most notable designs include his kubus glass containers, the Max and Moritz salt and pepper shakers, the Wagenfeld tea set designed with Ladislav Sutnar, and of course, the WG24 Table Lamp.
