The exhibition Moscow Material uses the architect’s own writings to provide the first in-depth look at the sketches, preliminary studies, (detailed) plans and visualizations of the designs for children’s furniture. In addition, numerous photographs of the architect from her time in Moscow as well as archive documents, letters and postcards provide a visual commentary on the construction of the USSR in the 1930s from her perspective. The initial design process for the children’s furniture took place during the period known as the “Great Terror”, making it particularly revealing in terms of political and social tensions. As both visual and verbal statements, these designs and ideas not only allow us to understand Schütte-Lihotzky’s private and public conception of design, but also to visualize the complex political and social demands of her position.
