Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau · 1928 · Hellerau bei Dresden : Deutsche Werkstatten AG · 24 pictures

A 1928 trade catalogue issued by Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau, the furniture workshop at Hellerau near Dresden, to show its furniture to buyers and dealers. Its photographs are printed as plain sepia views of furniture set in bare rooms, with tubular steel and black-lacquered chairs, tables and cabinets shown in sharp, even light on pale floors and walls. A designer could take its clean, uncluttered staging and its tight, low-contrast arrangement of furniture as a model for product shots.
