What is Lilly Reich famous for?
1 Answer
Lilly Reich is famous for her contributions to modern design. She worked with architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to design the now iconic Barcelona chair for the German Pavilion at the 1929 International Exposition. For years, Reich received little recognition for her work, but 21st-century scholarship has revealed the important role she played in the development of the Barcelona chair and other projects.
