Der Deutsche Werkbund: Sein Erstes Jahrzehnt examines the first ten years of the Deutscher Werkbund, a major German reform movement founded in 1907 to elevate the quality of industrial production by uniting artists, architects, designers, and manufacturers. The book traces how the Werkbund sought to reconcile craftsmanship with emerging industrial methods, promote functional and aesthetically coherent design, and shape a modern national identity through objects, buildings, and everyday products. Highlighting key figures such as Peter Behrens, Hermann Muthesius, and Henry van de Velde, it describes the debates, exhibitions, and pioneering experiments that laid the groundwork for modern design principles and influenced later movements, including the Bauhaus.
