Richard Riemerschmid

Richard Riemerschmid (20 June 1868 – 13 April 1957) was a

German architect and city planner from Munich,he trained as a

painter and was a major figure in Art Nouveau in Germany, and

a member of the Deutscher Werkbund .As founder and principal

of United Workshops for Art in Craftwork in Munich (est 1897),he

was happy to create furnishings for special commission that would

be largely be executed by hand,yet his simple rational designs

were well suited to machine production.He also designed for Dresden

Workshop of Arts & Crafts (est 1898) .He was Director of the

Munich Kunstgewerbeschule 1913-1924. I believe the last photo is of

a temporary exhibition space designed and built by Riemerschmid.
