Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau

For  the history of design, the time of Arts&Crafts when DWH was founded and built is one of the starting points.

The Totora team met the conceptual content and architectonic frame of this seminal turn of the XIX century.

As a contrast in continuity, the future bound DWH was a hands-on experience of modern technology and experimental procedures in interior design.
