The ailing Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), the German philosopher and cultural critic, spent his final years in Weimar at the "Villa Silberblick" in the care of his sister Elisabeth F�rster-Nietzsche. After his death, she commissioned Henry van de Velde to refurbish the building, especially the rooms of the archive. Van de Velde arrived at a highly successful solution for the Nietzsche Archive, which he was commissioned to design within a historicizing villa. The interior designs and furnishings are among the most exquisite creations ever made by the Belgian architect and designer.
