Frankfurt Kitchen

As of the 1920s ever more women became employed. Function­ally organized kitchens were designed to help them save time and energy. The “Frankfurt Kitchen” offered a great deal of working space, but at the same time was so narrow that one needed only to turn round to work on the other side. The revolu­tionary design was based on the compact “Mitropa” railway dining-car kitchen and influenced kitchen design as far as the USA, from where it returned to Europe in the 1950s as the “fitted kitchen”.
