About Richard Riemerschmid’s Extraordinary Living Things

How Richard Riemerschmid’s designs of everyday–but “extraordinary”–objects recalibrate our understanding of modernism. At the beginning of the twentieth century, German artist Richard Riemerschmid (1868-1957) was known as a symbolist painter and, by the advent of World War I, had become an important modern architect.
