The GRASSIMESSE is an international meeting point for those interested in design and passionate for beautiful things. It is even an art exhibition and a trade fair for applied art and product design from all fields.<\/p>\n
Leipzig is a city of a great fair tradition. In the 1920s the former director of the arts and crafts museum Leipzig, Richard Graul, founded a sales fair which later became known as the Grassimesse. Compared with the bigger Leipzig-fair, which offered mass-produced articles, the Grassimesse instisted on high quality. The former museum administration demanded a rigorous selection procedure of the artists. Therefore the Grassimesse developed to a famous European stage for the craftspeople elite. Up until the last Grassimesse in 1956, more than 1500 craftsmen, designers, companies, art schools and artist\u2019s associations from Germany, Austria and Scandinavia presented their wares to an international audience. Important participants for example artists from Bauhaus and Wiener Werkst\u00e4tte were representative of the development of the applied arts between the 1920s and the beginning of the 1940s. Taking part in the Grassimesse was like being awarded and of course this also applied to the exposed objects. Many of them became part of the museums collection as a kind of \u201carchive of Modernity\u201d.<\/p>\n
