Mart Stam

Mart Stam began his career in the office of M. J. Granpré Molière and reached Switzerland via Berlin, where he worked with Karl Moser. There he founded the magazine "ABC", together with Hans Schmidt.
In 1926, he returned to Rotterdam via Paris and worked for Brinkman & van der Vlugt as a drawer at the van-Nelle factory. In 1927 he built several town houses for the Weißenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart. In the same year he designed his swinging chair. In 1928 he was the only foreigner to be invited to design a house for the Baba quarter in Prague, and in the same year he began to participate in the planning of the Frankfurt Hellerhof suburb. From 1930 to 1934 he was a member of the "Brigade May", together with his wife Lotte Stam-Beese (1903 - 1988), and participated in the planning of the new Soviet cities of Magnitogorsk, Makejewka and Orsk. In 1935 he returned to the Netherlands. In 1939 he became director of the Institute for Arts and Crafts in Amsterdam. From 1948 to 1952 he worked in the GDR, then again in the Netherlands, first for Merkelbach & Elling and since 1955 self-employed. In 1966 he moved to Switzerland where he built two houses for himself.
