Born in Saxony and came to Sweden as a journeyman around 1753 where he started working in the work shop of Lorentz Nordin who at the time was the most prominent carpenter in Stockholm. Companion notes on exclusive furniture from Nordin’s workshop show Tietze’s skill and importance for manufacturing. Many of his furniture are strongly influenced by Nordin’s beautiful design language, at the same time as his years of education in Saxony have given him solid professional skills, which is clear from the high quality of the furniture. Along with Georg Haupt and Lorentz Nordin, among others, Tietze is one of the foremost champions in Stockholm during this period.
