Because it’s Wednesday:

This delay thing is a bank holiday desease I have....
So today its all about Bauhaus.
Having to look and judge FMCG design all day it is quiet nice to go back and have a look at the foundations of today's designworld. Bauhaus! Clean, Slick, minimalist design... just how I like it.

The city of Dessau, in Germany’s countryside, had had their sucess peak in the 1920’s with the Bauhaus school, created by Walter Gropius. In the same city, Gropius also build houses for people like the painters Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. But in the beginning of the 1930’s the school was closed by the Nazis with the excuse of producing decadent art.

Now, for the joy of 9 architects in 10, the school was reopened as a type of boutique hostel, that offers accomodations for one night with accessible prices, collective toilets and also uses the school’s canteen, where the students would sit down and enjoy their meals.

Besides the building created by Gropius, who also taught there, the school had amongst their most recognized students, Marcel Breuer. His famous chairs decorate the dorm rooms and the cafeteria. Another good example are the beds, made by the current principal of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Philipp Oswalt.
