Staatliches Bauhaus (1919-1933)
Founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar, the Bauhaus school unified art, craft, and technology into a single educational vision. Its faculty—Kandinsky, Klee, Moholy-Nagy, Mies van der Rohe—developed a design language of geometric forms, primary colors, and functional beauty that rejected ornament in favor of honest materials and clear purpose.
Created the aesthetic DNA of the modern world. From IKEA furniture to Apple products, from Swiss typography to minimalist architecture, virtually every designed object today carries Bauhaus principles.
