Born in Augsburg, Otto Blümel studied architecture at the Technical
University of Munich and then took up painting. From 1907 to 1914
he was director of the design department at the United Workshops
for Art in Craftsmanship in Munich, a pioneering force in the interior
design and decoration of the era. It was during this period that he
produced furniture designs that are still prized today. Otto Blümel's
most famous piece is the Nymphenburg coat rack of 1908.
