Alexander Koch's Handbuch neuzeitlicher Wohnungskultur

Koch, Alex. (Alexander), 1860-1939 · 1912 · [Darmstadt, A. Koch] · 36 pictures

Alexander Koch's 1912 handbook of modern domestic interiors, published in Darmstadt, presents German and Austrian rooms with furniture and decoration for a design-minded middle-class audience. The four pictures show study and office interiors with leaded windows, dark panelled walls, tufted leather sofas, a built-in bookcase, a barrel-vaulted hall, and an oak writing desk on patterned rugs, offering designers a reference for early twentieth-century Jugendstil and Arts and Crafts domestic furnishing.
