Dining room
by BEHRENS, Peter, Oak, metal, glas, porcelain
The picture shows a dining room display for an exhibition of modern interiors at the Wertheim Department Store in Berlin in 1902. It was one of twelve architect-designed rooms installed in the prominent German store; these rooms helped disseminate modern design to consumers. Behrens repeated the pattern of geometric forms on the furniture, lighting, wallpaper, and carpet of the room.
