Marianne Brandt was a German artist and designer who began her career studying at the Bauhaus school in Weimar and eventually heading the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Dessau. The metal workshop was a male dominated discipline, but Brandt was so talented that she became much more successful in the medium than her male counterparts. Along with lesser known photomontages, Brandt is famous for the household objects she designed that stand as the prime examples of modern industrial design.
