Bauhaus Design


Visit this website to see Bauhaus design exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in 2010. 

"The ultralight drinking glasses from CB2; a wandlike toilet-bowl brush from Muji; the pedestal Docksta table from Ikea set with woven vinyl Chilewich mats and surrounded by Jasper Morrison Air chairs: What do these elements of the fastidiously up-to-date kitchen have in common? They are the distant (and not so distant) offspring of the Bauhaus, the German school of art, architecture, and design that was open for a mere fourteen years, closed 76 years ago, introduced the word sleek to our design vocabulary, and changed the way we think about daily-use items.” –NYMag. 

 Try the "Kandinsky Questionaire" and click on "Checklist" to view works in the exhibition.


László Moholy-Nagy, Photogram, 1926
