Ernst L. Freud (1892-1970) was a son of Sigmund Freud and the
father of painter Lucian Freud and the late Sir Clement Freud,
politician and broadcaster. After his studies in Munich and Vienna,
where he and his friend Richard Neutra attended Adolf Loos's
private Bauschule, Freud practiced in Berlin and, after 1933, in
London. Even though his work focused on domestic architecture and
interiors, Freud was possibly the first architect to design
psychoanalytical consulting rooms-including the customary couches-a
subject dealt with here for the first time. By interweaving an
account of Freud's professional and personal life in Vienna,
Berlin, and London with a critical discussion of selected examples
of his domestic architecture, interior designs, and psychoanalytic
consulting rooms, the author offers a rich tapestry of Ernst L.
Freud's world. His clients constituted a "Who's Who" of the Jewish
and non-Jewish bourgeoisie in 1920s Berlin and later in London,
among them the S. Fischer publisher family, Melanie Klein, Ernest
Jones, the Spenders, and Julian Huxley. While moving within a
social class known for its cultural and avant-garde activities,
Freud refrained from spatial, formal, or technological experiments.
Instead, he focused on creating modern homes for his bourgeois
clients.
