ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Mart Stam
Mart Stam, born in 1899 in Purmerend, Netherlands, was a visionary leader in Modern Architecture and a trailblazer in contemporary furniture design. He made waves in 1927 with his groundbreaking contributions to the Weißenhof project in Stuttgart, where his work as an architect and innovator in tubular steel design captured widespread attention.
By 1928-1929, Stam was shaping Frankfurt’s urban landscape, contributing to projects like the Hellerhof housing estate while also sharing his expertise as a guest lecturer at the Bauhaus, teaching construction theory and urban planning. His career then took him across borders, with significant work in Russia and other countries from 1930 to 1934. Returning to Amsterdam, he continued his architectural pursuits and, in 1939, took on a leadership role at the Academy of Arts and Crafts.
In 1950, Stam was appointed director of the Conservatory for Applied Art in Berlin-Weißensee. By 1953, he returned to Amsterdam before eventually settling in Switzerland in 1977. There, he spent the final years of his life, passing away on February 23, 1986, in Goldach. Stam’s enduring legacy lies in his innovative designs and transformative contributions to architecture and design education.
