These products are documents of a ground-breaking project, the 'Frankfurt kitchen' today regarded as the first kitchen with modern equipment.

The Frankfurt kitchen was conceived by Ernst May in context of the project 'Neues Frankfurt' (New Frankfurt) in 1926. The Viennese architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky worked out his ideas with the objective of rationalizing and facilitating work steps in the kitchen. It is considered the prototype of the modern built-in kitchen. These twelve aluminum chutes were made in context of this project around 1930, the inscriptions indicate the storage of flour, sugar, oat flakes, rice, semolina, vanilla custard powder, sugar powder, raisins, salt, noodles, sago and baking ingredients.



The aluminum chutes are in good condition with normal traces of age and use. Each chute is marked 'Gebrüder Haarer Frankfurt a.M. DRP.A - DRG.M' and inscribed with the food content. Dimensions: each 14.2 x 11 x 30 cm.



Margarete "Grete" Schütte-Lihotzky (1897-2000)

Margarete "Grete" Schütte-Lihotzky (1897-2000) was the first female graduate in architecture in Austria. Her design for the so-called 'Frankfurter Küche' (Frankfurter kitchen), which is deemed to be the prototype of today's fitted kitchen, gained her worldwide recognition. She studied at the college for arts and crafts under influential artists like Oskar Kokoschka and Anton Hanak and later under Oskar Strnad, the pioneer of social housing architecture. She had received several awards even before graduation. Her designs regarding settlement building were implemented in the 1930s. She became one of the central figures of the German Resistance against the Nazis.
