The Reimann School in London was a successor to the Reimann Schule in Berlin, opened by a German Jewish sculptor and artisan, Albert Reimann, in 1902. In late 1936, another school was opened in London in the same line, staffed by many of the original teachers and students from Berlin and from other countries. In retrospect, it is extraordinary to see how much contemporary impact, and indeed long-term influence the Reimann School was to have on British design culture up to the beginning of the Second World War. This book is an attempt to bring to light the transnational history of the school, an interesting case of a design diaspora.
