our design heritage
kwynn’s heritage begins in 1910 Berlin, when Fischbein & Mendel was founded — the women’s design atelier that started it all
in early modernist Berlin, alongside the clothing business the Mendel family fueled medical research, progressive architecture, and culture. a friendship with Albert Einstein brought science and art into the same sphere — nights of scientific discovery in the Mendel Villa Lab drifting into Einstein's echoing piano notes in the grand hallways at dawn
simultaneously, the family commissioned substantial works from Walter Gropius providing integral support for the Bauhaus University. these radically modern spaces and pieces, powered and absorbed by the family’s lifestyle, seeded the Bauhaus movement — the world’s first introduction to modern design. these instincts for honest materials and beauty in clean lines are embedded in kwynn’s philosophy of elevated form and function
a later chapter unfolded in Northern California, where the household behind kwynn spent generations in early Silicon Valley. here innovation was expected, collaboration second nature. the family shared conversations, creations, meals, and curiosity with the fathers of modern technical innovation — among them a young Steve Jobs. the Bauhaus ideals from Europe resurfaced here as the foundation of modern aesthetics — clean lines. from here comes kwynn’s belief in precise innovation that solves real problems with integrity
carried across generations from Berlin to California and home to Berlin again, this heritage forms kwynn’s aesthetic and ethos:
California — innovation, collaboration, light
Berlin — structure, character, intention
kwynn's heritage leaves us committed to the most flattering cuts, finest yarns, and best-in-class production
no compromises
