Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen
Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen, born Berthold Müller, is a German sculptor, painter, designer and mosaic artist.
Berthold studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin, then worked for a time in the artistic decoration of churches. He was fascinated by Italian and Mediterranean art and built on this fascination.
In 1936 Müller-Oerlinghausen founded a mosaic workshop in Berlin, which was destroyed by bombing in 1944, but in 1946 he rebuilt it and began a new period in his work. This workshop produced, among other things, elegant mosaic coffee tables, which are sought after by collectors.
