RICHARD RIEMERSCHMID

plywood tray

Long before Marcel Breuer and Charles and Ray Eames brought their groundbreaking designs with laminated wood to production maturity, Richard Riemerschmid developed his stackable laminated wood tray at the Cologne Werkkunstschule in 1929.

Today, Riemerschmid is known almost exclusively as a great architect and furniture designer of Art Nouveau; All the more exciting is the (re)discovery of his plywood tray, with which he makes a small but technologically highly innovative contribution to the design of the new objectivity.

In the original, the tray can be found in walnut and zebrano; Today these two versions are supplemented by the version in maple.
