ANKER-TEPPICHBODEN AND EARLY MODERN ARCHITECTURE<br />
Product designs by the Bauhaus architects consistently reflected the possibilities<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered by current developments in technology. The robust yet lightweight<br />
tubular steel furniture designed by Marcel Breuer signalled the beginning<br />
<strong>of</strong> the modern era in the field <strong>of</strong> product design as well. High-performance<br />
materials were commonly used in state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art technology, as is evident<br />
in the pho<strong>to</strong>graphs <strong>of</strong> passenger cabins in German aircraft. In order <strong>to</strong> reduce<br />
weight <strong>to</strong> a minimum while meeting the highest standards <strong>of</strong> comfort, tubular<br />
aluminium pr<strong>of</strong>iles were <strong>of</strong>ten used in furniture construction.<br />
The same requirements applied <strong>to</strong> floor coverings in dirigibles. And thus<br />
<strong>Anker</strong> carpeting was selected – in a design developed by Pr<strong>of</strong>. Soeder,<br />
the chief architect at the Zeppelin Works.<br />
