Die querformatige Zeichnung in bunten Aquarellfarben auf beigem Papier zeigt einen Blick von oben in drei schmale Räume. Sie sind in rot beschriftet mit „Schlafen, Arbeiten und Kochen“ und enthalten Maßangaben. Im Schlafraum mit Kamin steht ein Hochbett, das Arbeitszimmer und die Küche sind mit Klappmöbeln platzsparend eingerichtet.
In the summer of 1938, Friedl Dicker and her husband Pavel Brandeis moved to Hronov in Bohemia, near the Polish border. There she designed space-saving furnishings for their flat with three little rooms. In the kitchen, for example, a table and two chairs could be pulled out from under the worktop and stowed away again after meals. In the bedroom, a loft bed doubled the space available in the small room. Her design follows the “modern living principle” that Friedl Dicker and Franz Singer also applied in the projects of their joint studio. Small rooms, in particular, could be made adaptable and multifunctional with intelligent furniture that could be folded, pulled out or pushed together.
