Ms. Zittel is heir to a long list of 20th-century tweakers of the
human environment. They range from Bauhauslers like the German-born
weaver Anni Albers and the Austrian architect Margarete
Schütte-Lihotzky — whose prefab "Frankfurt kitchen" was built into
10,000 working-class apartments in 1927 — to Americans like Elizabeth
Hawes ("Fashion Is Spinach"), Buckminster Fuller and the furniture
designers Charles and Ray Eames.
