The Frankfurt Kitchen Changed How We Cook—and Live

In 1926, architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky designed a new, ultra-efficient kitchen for modern women. We're still cooking in versions of it today.

Fascinating article about the design of the modern kitchen:

“Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897–2000) was the first Austrian woman ever to qualify as an architect. Following World War I, she was tasked with the design of standard kitchens for a new housing project by city planner and architect Ernst May. The Great War left rubble and a desperate housing shortage in its wake, but it also opened the way for new ideas and new designs.

...

For her part, though she was a career woman herself, Schütte-Lihotzky believed that housework was a profession and deserved to be treated seriously as such. This counted as feminism in the 1920s, and although we might find it essentializing or insulting today, making housework easier was considered a form of emancipation for women.”
