Muut tiedot

Otto Schulz trained as an interior architect at the Technical School in Charlottenburg from 1900 to 1907. Between 1904 and 1907, he concurrently apprenticed with the Swedish-born architect Professor Alfred Grenander (1863-1931). Grenander's influence on Schulz's earliest furniture is evident. For example, see the chairs designed by Grenander and sold at Bukowskis Modern auction 575 in the autumn of 2013, catalogue no. 385. In 1907, after receiving a diploma from the Kunstgewerbe Museum in Berlin, Schulz moved to Sweden and Gothenburg. After a period of employment, he established his own practice as an interior architect in 1910.
