Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky

This pioneering Austrian architect and communist activist left an indelible mark on the German resistance against Nazism. While primarily remembered today for her iconic kitchen design, her work extends far beyond mere architecture. Her creations are characterized by a profound engagement with social issues and a drive to connect functional design with the lives of ordinary people. Through her visionary approach and unwavering convictions, she shaped not only physical spaces but also social consciousness.
