About Vereinigte Werkstätten:
Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk
(Established 1897)
Like a number of other design initiatives in the late 19th century, the Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk (United Workshops for Art in Craft) was established in Munich in order to gain greater recognition for the applied arts.
The Vereinigte Werkstätten quickly became a successful commercial enterprise with international appeal, being awarded a Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 and showcasing their furniture at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Ohio in 1902 and at the First International Exposition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin.
In the late 1920's the company supplied furnishings for many ocean liners (incl. the Columbus which later sailed as the Homeric for the White Star Line). Throughout the the 1930s and 40s their designs unfortunately featured prominently in the private quarters as well as in offices of the most senior Nazi leadership.
In the post-war era the company struggled to return to its former success but continued to produce well designed high-end furniture in small series. A cooperation with contemporary artists in the 1980s could not halt the inevitable and the company finally closed its doors after almost 100 years in 1991.
