Bauhaus

The Bauhaus art and design movement originated from a German school of the arts founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. Combining elements of the arts and crafts movement (1880-1920) with modernism, Bauhaus is known for its unique aesthetic. It is characterised by simplicity and functionality, featuring balanced, geometric forms and abstract shapes. Bauhaus designers aimed to create aesthetically pleasing objects that could be mass-produced and made available to a broader public, using unconventional techniques and materials like steel, glass, plywood, and plastic to enhance efficiency and practicality.
