Max Osborn describes Michael Rachlis' work as kind, light and comfortable, Rachlis as somebody with innate taste who understood to offer a joyful an…d festive attitude in gruff German times as well as somebody with a delicate sense for the organic that guides the architectural work.

Michael Rachlis was born into a Jewish family, studied at the Technische Hochschule München, and worked in Berlin as a set designer starting in 1913. Later he designed country houses as well as interiors, at times in collaboration with the Hungarian architect Ferenc Domány. In 1922/23 the architect Hans Nitzschke worked at Rachlis's studio. Starting in 1928 Rachlis worked for the Deutsche Werkstätte, a leading furniture manufacturer who's archives were deemed to be a valuable cultural asset. Rachlis emigrated to London in 1935 and worked as an architect until his death in 1952.
