Between 1925 and 1930, the Bauhaus, a legendary school of design, published a series of 14 books
written by teachers and friends of the school. These books addressed the core ideas of the Bauhaus in art, design, and architecture.

No art movement has impacted the world of products quite like the Bauhaus.
