The Bauhaus school was a German art school operational from 1919-1933 that combined crafts and fine arts. It was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar and later relocated to Dessau and Berlin under his leadership and those of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The school emphasized simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship and had influence on modern architecture and design. Notable achievements included furniture, lighting, and other object designs that combined aesthetic appeal with industrial materials and mass production capabilities.

5. The school existed in three German cities under three different architect-
directors (Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1927, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to
1930, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 to 1933).

6. most student should face the fact that their future should be involved primarily
with industry and mass production rather than with individual craftsmanship
teachers in schools of design should be men who are in advance of their
profession rather than safely and academically in the rearguard
the schools of design should, as the Bauhaus did, bring together the various
arts of painting, architechture, theatre, photography, weaving, typography, etc.,
into a modern synthesis which disregards conventional distinctions between the
"fine" and "applied" arts
a school of design should have on its faculty the purely creative and
interested artist such as the easel painter as a spiritual counterpoint to the
practical technician in order that they may work and teach side by side for the
benefit of the student
PHILOSOPHY OF BAUHAUS :

7. manual experience of materials is essential to the student of design-
experience at first confined to free experiment and then extended to the
practical workshop
the study of rational design in terms of techniques and materials should
be only the first step in the development of a new and modern sense of
beauty
because we live in the 20th century, the student architect or designer
should be offered no refuge in the past but should be equipped for the
modern world in its various aspects, artistic, technical, social, economic,
spiritual, so that he may function in society not as a decorator but as a vital
participant.

8. In 1920 two important artistic events help to change the Bauhaus.
1.One was as international conference of the awant-grad that the idea on purity of form
and honesty of construction to establish a new constructivist international.
2. The other was the major exhibition of Soviet design arranged interest not only in
constructivism but also the social aims which informed it.

10. Between 1919 and 1933 the German school art and design called the Bauhaus was
producing designs which were truly made for mass production but it was thirty years
later that industry caught up with this thinking and was able to manufacture the
designs for products such as furniture and lighting cheaply enough and in large
quantities .
Many of the designs we now regard as design classics originate from the bauhaus
One of the main objectives of the bauhaus was to unify art, craft , and technology
The machine was considered a positive element , and therefore industrial and
product design were important components.
The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art,
architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design and typography.

14. Bauhaus Door Knob
Arguably the most famous piece
designed by Walter Gropius, the
Bauhaus doorknobs geometric
forms and industrial flourishes, such
as exposed screws, set the tone for
what the Bauhaus aesthetic was
about
Bauhaus Lamp
Probably the most iconic
piece of lighting to come out
of the Bauhaus, William
Wagenfeld's lamp,
constructed of precisely cut
glass and metal, is among
the first objects to emerge
under the Bauhaus'
technology-focused regime.
PRODUCT DESIGNING:

15. Bauhaus Tea Infuser
Designed in 1924 by Marianne Brandt, the
Bauhaus tea infuser has a built-in strainer,
non-drip spout, and heat-resistant handle
made of ebony, embracing the school's
principals of combining functionality and
aesthetic.
Barcelona Chair
Designed in 1929 by future Bauhaus head
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and partner Lily
Reich, the gentle, swooping lines
Barcelona chair served as a precursor of
what was to come with the mid-century
modern furniture movement

16. GROPIUS CHAIR
MARCEL BEUER CHAIR
Bauhaus Wasilly Chair
Of all the chairs to come out of the Bauhaus,
this is the one that commonly comes to mind.
Designed my Marcel Breuer, the Wasilly chair
is a mix of steel and leather, using no more
material than is absolutely needed, while
providing maximum comfort. It's a design you'll
still find in homes today.

17. Marcel Breuer chair, one of the very
first tubular steel chairs, designed in
1925.

18. Bauhaus Chess Set
Designed in 1922 by Josef
Hartwig, the best part about the
chess pieces is that the design
of each also indicates the type of
movement it is capable of
Bauhaus Nesting Tables
Nothing quite says "smart" like
five separate tables that fit into
the footprint of one. And the
use of colors with each table is
something that would be
revisited by Ray and Charles
Eames decades later

Bauhaus Cradle
The Bauhaus Cradle emerged in the early
days of the German design school, but the
simplicity of this magazine holder, both with
regard to the form and colors used, doesn't
undermine the inherent playfulness of the
design.
