Paul Bromberg had a significant influence on the development of interior architecture in the Netherlands. He was chairman of the Amsterdam Circle of the Dutch Association for Crafts and Industrial Art. In the 1920s, Bromberg worked for Metz
Co. in Amsterdam, where he designed furniture and interiors and was responsible for purchasing the arts and crafts articles. He subsequently worked for the Modern Interior Art department of H. Pander
Zonen in The Hague and Amsterdam.
The furniture he designed, shows a kinship with the furniture designs of the Amsterdam School architects through its sculptural design.
As an independent interior designer, he not only designed homes and businesses during the 1930s and 1940s, but also designed furniture, stage sets, exhibitions, stands, and renovations.
Bromberg also became known for his tireless efforts to promote new design ideas. He gave lectures, organized exhibitions, and wrote numerous publications, including works on interior design and architecture in the United States. In a book entitled "City Planning," commissioned by the Dutch government, he gave Americans an impression of the reconstruction.
In 1924, Bromberg moved to the Hague-based firm H. Pander
Zn, a large furniture company with a branch in Amsterdam that manufactured both historical and modern furniture. In the latter half of the 1920s, he would also focus, often in a more moderate way, on the more streamlined and straight-lined furniture designs of the kind Wouda and Alons designed for Pander.
1938 - Paul Bromberg designed the interior of the Dutch pavilion for the 1939 New York World's Fair (designed by D.F. Slothouwer).
A multi-party commission was issued to seven architects for the Dutch pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Slothouwer was appointed by a government commissioner and received the commission. The magazine De 8 en Opbouw suggested that the outcome was predetermined. Slothouwer designed a pavilion in a classical style. The 25-meter-high tower was inspired by the Stockholm City Hall. The tower housed a carillon by the Van Bergen firm in Heiligerlee. The exhibition halls had sawtooth roofs, similar to those used in factory construction. A site measuring approximately 150x60 meters was available for the pavilion.
While traveling through the United States, where he was studying prefabricated construction on behalf of the government, he was caught unawares by the outbreak of World War II in 1940 and was forced to remain there until 1945. He studied modern American architecture, which had by then incorporated the latest German insights. During his stay in America, he wrote the book "Effective Building and Living." Back in the Netherlands, the prolifically published Bromberg would recount his American period and reintroduce the Dutch design world to, among other things, the prefabricated house. He would also contribute to the development of new plywood furniture.
After the liberation he returned to his wife Constance Metz and children Nettie and Paul Jr., who had survived the war.
