The Production and Reception of Tubular Steel Furniture in the 1930s. Further Studies to the Catalogue Raisonné of the Furniture and Furniture Designs of Mies van der Rohe

该项目旨在完成路德维希·密斯·凡·德罗的家具和家具设计目录。它侧重于系统地记录和科学地分析整个原始材料，包括原始家具以及按照密斯·凡·德罗的原始设计生产的家具。迄今为止未知的材料涉及到关于密斯·凡·德罗家具的生产、分销和接收的公开问题。这尤其涉及到钢管家具的批量生产。密斯曾经的商业伙伴安东•洛伦兹（Anton Lorenz）的遗产以及持有许可证的公司的各种档案中的大量资料，将填补关于1931年至1938年这一关键时期的一些空白。因此，我们目前对钢管家具的生产、生产地点以及纳粹时期对钢管家具的接受和接受的理解将需要进行重大修改。

The project aims at completing the catalogue raisonné of the furniture and furniture designs of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It focuses on a systematic documentation and scientific analysis of the entire source material including original pieces of furniture as well as furniture produced in accordance with Mies van der Rohe's original designs. Hitherto unknown material relates to open questions about the production, distribution and reception of Mies van der Rohe's furniture. This concerns in particular the serial production of tubular steel furniture. Substantial material in the estate of Mies's one-time business associate Anton Lorenz, as well as in various archives of license-holding companies, will close some of the gaps in the catalog raisonné for the pivotal period in-between 1931 and 1938. As a consequence, our present understanding of the production of tubular steel furniture, of the production sites and of the reception and acceptance of steel furniture in the Nazi period will ask for major revision.
