Die Pyramide. 1920.
In order to promote a Munich wine bar called The Pyramid, Schnackenberg goes all in on the Egyptian theme, but with Art Deco flair. The flattened shapes, geometric lines, and seminude attending server draw on ancient reliefs, while the wine glasses and spindly bread sticks reflect 1920s German culture. Rare!
