La teiera di Marianne Brandt è la parte del set che segue più rigorosamente i principi formali della scuola del Bauhaus. Cerchio, globo e quadrato sono le forme base della costruzione.
Maestro del Laboratorio di Metallo
Marianne Brandt
Moholy-Nagy ha riconosciuto il suo talento unico. Con il suo incoraggiamento, Brandt ha studiato nel settore maschile dell'officina metalmeccanica. Brandt ha frequentato il corso preliminare tenuto da Josef Albers e László Moholy-Nagy, nonché le lezioni di Paul Klee e Wassily Kandinsky.
The Bauhaus Teapot by Marianne Brandt is a distilled statement
of Bauhaus thinking — clarity, precision and human use define its beauty.
Brandt, the first woman to join the Bauhaus metal workshop under László Moholy-Nagy, turned everyday objects into modern icons. Her
designs reduced form to essentials — geometry, function and material honesty.
This teapot, designed in 1924, embodies that approach. Sterling silver (925/1000) with ebony accents unites circle, sphere and
square. The curved handle stays cool, the balanced lid pours cleanly and the measured proportions communicate calm logic.
Every element has a job. Nothing is merely decorative. The result is a functional sculpture that simplifies life without losing
soul.
Major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, hold original examples. Authorized reproductions preserve the
same disciplined geometry that defined the Bauhaus workshop in Dessau.
