Bauhaus vs Bauhaus Interior
Bauhaus Interior is the cross-discipline counterpart of Bauhaus — the Bauhaus architecture and school.
Bauhaus
The German school that fused art, craft, and industry into a functional modernism — clean geometry, flat roofs, and 'form follows function' applied to the whole designed world.
- Rejection of applied ornament; function expressed as form
- Clean rectilinear geometry and flat roofs
- Glass curtain walls and ribbon windows
- Honest, industrial materials
- Unity of art, craft, and mass production
Bauhaus Interior
The functional, machine-age interior of the German Bauhaus — open plan, white walls, tubular-steel furniture and primary-colour accents, form following function.
- Open, flexible plans with abundant natural light
- White and neutral walls free of applied ornament
- Tubular-steel, chrome and leather furniture for mass production
- Primary red, yellow and blue accents on neutral grounds
- Geometric workshop textiles and honest industrial materials
