1919–1933

Bauhaus

The workshop as a school of thought

A school before it was a style. What survives as furniture is the workshop's output: tubular steel, primary geometry, and a belief that a chair is a problem of construction rather than decoration.

What to look for

Tubular steel or bentwood, geometric frames, and a workshop or manufacturer mark from Dessau or Berlin.
