Bauhaus

Bauhaus was an influential art and design movement founded in Germany in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius. It aimed to unify art, craft, and technology, emphasizing functional design and simplicity. Bauhaus artists and designers believed in creating objects that were both beautiful and useful, often using industrial materials. The movement fostered collaboration across disciplines, influencing architecture, furniture, graphic design, and textiles. Although it ended in the 1930s due to political pressures, Bauhaus’ legacy continues to shape modern design principles, promoting the idea that well-designed objects enhance everyday life.
