• Mies Van der Rohe impressedthe school with a strictlydisciplinarycharacter, more focused on
architecture.
• Mies transfer the school toBerlin in 1930,operating on a smaller scale. Ultimately, the Bauhaus closed

The teachers of Bauhaus
• During the war some vacancies
occurred on the staffs of the two
schools (the Academy of Pictorial Art
and the Academy of Artsand Crafts)
which Gropius later united in the
Bauhaus.
• This enabled him tohave three
masters appointed atthe very
beginning:
1. Johannes Itten
2. Lyonel Feininger
3. Gerhard Marcks in May, 1919.

Characteristics and highlights ofBauhaus
movement
 Simplicityand Effectiveness :There is no need for additionalornamenting and making things more and more
‘beautiful’. Theyare just fine as they are.
 Minimalism : Bauhaus artists favored linear and geometrical forms, avoiding floral or curvilinear shapes (lines, smooth
gentle lines andshapes)
 Form follows function : According tothis idea,simplebutelegant geometric shapes were designed basedon the
intended function or purposeof a building or an object

 Constant development (modern ) Bauhaus is allabout new techniques, new materials, new ways of construction, new
attitude , Bauhaus also ledtothe emergence of new forms of interior design.
 Emphasis's on technology (mass production ) Bauhaus workshops were used for developing prototypes of products
for mass production. The artists embracedthe new possibilities of modern technologies .

Bauhaus furniture
• Bauhaus furniture was designed tobe functional above all other qualities.
• Bauhaus designers wanted tocreate aesthetically pleasing objects, but also wanted
their products tobe available toa mass public
9/28/2021 45

• They used steel and leather widely in their furnitures
• Most of the furnitures lines are clearly straight or curve line
• The furnitures are without any decoration
• For furnitures they used geometrical shapes,,,and some times they combined those geometrical shapes
with main colors

Concept
While teaching at the Bauhaus, Breuer
often rode a bicycle, a pastime that led him
towhat is perhaps the single most
important innovation in furniture design
in the twentieth century: the use of tubular
steel. The tubular steel of his bicycle’s
handlebars was strong and lightweight,
and lent itself tomass-production. Breuer
reasoned that if it could be bent into
handlebars, it could be bent into furniture
forms.
