Some of his porcelain and glass designs for Arzberg and Schott-Zwiesel are still produced today. After graduating from high school in 1920, Löffelhardt began an apprenticeship at the Heilbronn silverware factory Peter Bruckmann & Söhne. The senior boss Peter Bruckmann gave Löffelhardt a scholarship to study sculpture with Georg Kolbe in Berlin from 1924. Only a few portrait busts created in the following four years have survived in private collections. The young sculptor returned to industry as a freelance designer. From 1934, Löffelhardt developed canteen tableware on behalf of the “Beauty of Work” office, which was manufactured by Bauscher Bros. and Keramische Werke Bohemia in Neurohlau, among others. In 1937, Rosenthal delivered the 700 “Beauty of Work” tea service designed by Löffelhardt to the Reich Labor Service. Characteristic features were the onion-shaped, smooth body of the teapot with a finger-wide neck ring, the curved tubular spout and the ribbon handle. Even before the Nazi tableware, Rosenthal's subsidiary Thomas had launched the Barb tableware design on the market. In 1937, Wilhelm Wagenfeld hired the up-and-coming designer Heinrich Löffelhardt as an employee of Vereinigte Lausitzer Glaswerke in Weißwasser. Career In 1941, Löffelhardt was drafted into the Wehrmacht and only returned from Soviet captivity in 1947. Immediately after the war, there were few prospects in the economy, so he initially followed Wagenfeld, who had moved from East to West Germany, to Stuttgart and in 1949, on Wagenfeld's recommendation, was given a job in the Design Department of the State Trade Office in Stuttgart. Among other things, he edited the catalogs for the exhibitions “Wie wohnen” (Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, 1949-50) and “Glas aus Württemberg-Baden” (Stuttgart, 1950), which were published by Gerd Hatje. After Wagenfeld's retirement, who set up his own business as a designer, Löffelhardt became his successor as head of department at the State Trade Office in 1950. Löffelhardt's particular achievement here was to make it easier for the domestic industry to catch up with international design developments after years of isolation: the exhibitions and publications for which he was responsible paid particular tribute to developments abroad. Löffelhardt proved to be a man of practice, not a verbose theorist.[4] At the same time, he was once again designing for industry. He designed standing vessels for the Sicherer'sche Apotheke in Heilbronn; the Gral-Glaswerkstätten Göppingen produced his stacking ashtrays. Arzberg and Schönwald porcelain factories At the end of 1952, he became artistic director of the Arzberg and Schönwald porcelain factories and was thus responsible for almost the entire product range. The design of both companies had been inextricably linked with the name of the designer Hermann Gretsch since 1931, and Gretsch's “timelessly modern” line was to be continued and further developed. Heinrich Löffelhardt designed three models in 1954/55 (Arzberg 1542, Arzberg 2000, Schönwald 411), which were based on Gretsch's pre-war designs, but replaced their stolidity with an elegant sweep. The award-winning Arzberg 2000 and Arzberg 2025 designs in particular seem to reflect something of the optimism of the years of the economic miracle. The Schönwald 511 and Arzberg 2050/2075 models feature truncated cone and cylinder shapes, but their novel geometric rigor did not become dogma in the following years. The Arzberg 1100 stacking bowls, whose precise, rectangular shapes placed particular technical demands on the production department, were also launched in 1960. The idea of creating a multitude of possible uses with just a few - in this case six - pieces by combining them in different ways was new. This form of multifunctionality of combination dishes has been copied many times and has proven itself to this day. In his last design, Arzberg 2007 Residence, Löffelhardt returned to organic forms in 1969, emphasized by a slight fluting of all parts. For two decades, Löffelhardt determined the overall appearance of the tableware and gift items produced by Arzberg. The photographer Willi Moegle captured many of Löffelhardt's works. These photographs, which were mainly taken for advertising purposes, are now regarded as classics of modern product photography. Glass designs From 1954, Löffelhardt was responsible for the design of utility glass at Jenaer Glaswerk Schott & Gen. in Mainz, including the subsidiary Vereinigte Farbenglaswerke Zwiesel. He designed goblets, bottles and vases. The Sintrax coffee machine was functionally optimized. Löffelhardt's borosilicate glass teapot, which was produced in 1955 by Schott & Gen. Mainz in 1955 to replace Wilhelm Wagenfeld's previous design from 1931, was named one of the 25 best contemporary design achievements by the US magazine Fortune in 1977. The fact that Löffelhardt replaced Wilhelm Wagenfeld as designer at Schott & Gen. Mainz, where Löffelhardt had replaced Wilhelm Wagenfeld as designer, led to a lasting rift between the two designers. In the literature, Wagenfeld's replacement is attributed to excessive fee demands. Löffelhardt replaced Wagenfeld's designs with a more modern program, both in the area of blown glass (tea sets) and pressed glass (baking tins). Technical design Like most designers of the 1950s and 1960s, Löffelhardt devoted himself above all to taste goods. But he was also interested in the aesthetic side of new technical devices. In 1958, together with his protégé Hans Erich Slany, he designed the compact camera “Zeiss Ikonette” for Zeiss Ikon, one of the first cameras with a plastic housing. Late years Löffelhardt was appointed to the supervisory board of the Arzberg and Schönwald parent company Kahla in 1959 and to the supervisory board of Vereinigte Farbenglaswerke in 1963. His achievements were recognized, but his professional advancement did not mean that his ideas of socially responsible design came any closer to implementation. Progressive automation in production and corporate concentrations contributed to the rapid displacement of Löffelhardt's work. In 1971, he retired as artistic director of the companies. His work for Schott-Zwiesel also ended in 1977. In 1976, Heinrich Löffelhardt was made an honorary member of the Association of German Industrial Designers, and one year before his death he was elected an honorary senator of the Stuttgart Academy of Arts.
