The Bauhaus: When the Workshop Changed the World
Founded in 1919 in Weimar, the Bauhaus school lasted fourteen years and shaped fifty years of world design. Portrait of a utopia that held together.
The Bauhaus lasted fourteen years, from Weimar (1919) to Berlin (1933, closed by the Nazis). Quietly, the school rewrote the rules of twentieth-century graphic design. The grid, the circle-square-triangle, primary colours used as logical flat fields. All of today's visual systems (IKEA, Helvetica, airport pictograms) come from it. These Bauhaus posters capture that spirit.
Our selection brings together the compositions that work best in interiors: Paul Klee's colour exercises, the covers of the journal Bauhaus, Herbert Bayer's posters, Moholy-Nagy's photograms. Plus a few pieces of contemporary neo-Bauhaus, for those who want something sharper.
Discover also: Abstract, Modern Abstract and Art Deco. Collection favourites: Poster Bauhaus Op Art Blue and Orange and Poster Bauhaus Berlin Triptych.

One large piece or a pair, a calm wall for a busy motif, the right frame: how to live with an abstract poster without crowding the room.

The mid-century modern style has been everywhere for fifteen years. What it really is, where it comes from, and which posters suit it without falling into caricature.
