Albert Mayer

During the latter years of the 19th century and the years leading up to 1914, the head of the WMF Art Studio in Geislingen was the sculptor Albert Mayer, who not only designed many of the company’s products during this period, but was also probably responsible for the design of a majority of the WMF catalogue covers.

Albert Mayer’s penchant for the incorporation of willowy female figures and Mucha-like female profiles with billowing hair into the design of household objects is much in evidence throughout the 1906 Catalogue as is his uncompromising reliance on full-blown Jugendstil floral ornament and forms.
