Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1900 - 1990) was an industrial designer and former Bauhaus student. When the Nazis closed down the Bauhaus school of art he refused to leave the country unlike many of his contemporaries. His refusal to join the Nazi Party led to him being declared a 'political pest'. Many of his famous designs are still in production today.
