Alexander Koch's Handbuch neuzeitlicher Wohnungskultur

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

A handbook of modern domestic interiors compiled by Alexander Koch, published in Darmstadt in 1912 for designers and homeowners interested in contemporary household furnishing. The plates show furnished rooms with built-in cabinets, upholstered seating, patterned wallpaper and textiles, and a designer can take from them a sense of how early twentieth-century German interiors balanced dark wood, geometric patterns and restrained lighting.
