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.

THE SCHOOL OF MODERNISM

Discover the Bauhaus

No art movement has impacted the world of products quite like the Bauhaus. Founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, the school’s original manifesto proposed a union of art, architecture and design via a curriculum that would “create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist.”

Art and Technology - A new Unity

Discover the Bauhaus

Modern design is all about simplicity and functionality and can be found in many products we're using on a daily basis. Learn how the Bauhaus influenced design history with its emphasis on theory and practice as taught by the masters.
