{"title":"Marianne Brandt","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarianne Brandt was born in Chemnitz in Germany in 1893. She made a name for herself above all as a metal designer, but was also active as a sculptor and painter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter studying at the Grand Ducal Saxon School of Fine Arts in Weimar, Marianne Brandt lived in Norway for a while with her husband Erik Brandt before attending the Bauhaus from 1923 to 1929. At the Bauhaus in Weimar, she took the preliminary course with Albers and Moholy-Nagy and classes with Klee and Kandinsky, and trained in the metal workshop. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter the Bauhaus moved to Dessau and following a short stay in Paris in France, Marianne Brandt was appointed acting head of the Bauhaus metal workshop in 1928\/29 – while still a student. She received her Bauhaus diploma in 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUntil 1932, Marianne Brandt headed the design department of a metalware factory in Gotha. She was then unemployed until 1948 and devoted herself to painting during this time. She later taught at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and, from 1951 to 1954, worked at the Institute for Industrial Design in Berlin. In 1954, Marianne Brandt returned to Chemnitz, where she devoted herself mainly to fine art and crafts. She died in Kirchberg, Saxony, in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarianne Brandt was regarded as one of the greatest talents of the Bauhaus metal workshop. Many well-known designs date from her student years, including lights, ashtrays and teapots that can now be seen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the USA, and some of which are still produced according to the original designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alessi-marianne-brandt-aschenbecher","title":"Alessi - Marianne Brandt Ashtray","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesigner Ashtray in the Bauhaus Style\u003c\/h2\u003e Alessi ’s ashtray consists of two elements, and its design would be described by most people today as \u0026 “classic \u0026 .” This is because the cylindrical shape has become second nature to the viewer today, even though it was only in 1926 that it became part of the birth of industrial design—a field that emerged as a further development of traditional blacksmithing at the Bauhaus metal workshop and continues to shape aesthetic concepts to this day.\r\nThe base is cylindrical in shape and is based on the fundamental element of the circle. In the center, the cone protrudes, culminating in the fundamental element of the sphere—specifically, a hemisphere. The conical lid fits precisely onto this, ensuring that odors are contained within the ashtray. The use of basic geometric shapes is characteristic of Marianne Brandt, who designed this elegant object at the Bauhaus in Dessau.\r\nThus, both smokers and nonsmokers benefit from this ashtray, which has been produced since 1985 by Alessi under license from the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.","brand":"Alessi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57394918687064,"sku":"113145","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/Alessi-Marianne-Brandt-Aschenbecher-Edelstahl-Freisteller.jpg?v=1780053760"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.connox.com\/collections\/marianne-brandt.oembed","provider":"Connox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
