ドイツ工作連盟
In the 1940s Fritz Hahne and Adolf Wilkening took over their fathers' chair factory. Business ran well, but they looked for new design paths and took up contact with Walter Heyn, the director of Deutsche Werkstätten, and with designers such as Georg Leowald and Herbert Hirche whose work was influenced by the Bauhaus and the Deutscher Werkbund.
