Ferdinand Streb studied interior design at the art academy in Hanover from 1929 to 1932 after an apprenticeship as a carpenter. He then worked for Le Corbusier in Paris from 1933 to 1935 . After returning to Germany he worked for Carl August Bembé in Munich and Alfred Stieler in Stralsund, where he founded an office in 1938.
