DescriptionDescription: Peter Behrens was a ground-breaking architect and industrial designer who started designing household appliances at the end of the 1800s. He aimed to elevate artistic quality but also develop standardised components to simplify production and cut costs. AEG, Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft, hired Behrens in 1907, and for them he designed industrial buildings, products and the company’s logotype and corporate identity.
