Open entryThe works that make Bauhaus concrete.
Buildings, furniture, metalwork, typography, and weaving from the school's workshops and its graduates.
B3 Wassily Chair
Breuer's tubular steel chair remains one of the clearest emblems of industrial modern furniture.
Open entryBauhaus Building, Dessau
The purpose-built complex that gave the school its most recognizable image — and that functioned, for seven years, as the physical infrastructure for its workshops, studios, and communal life.
Open entryFagus Factory
Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer's pioneering industrial building in Alfeld — not a Bauhaus work, but an essential piece of the pre-history that made the Bauhaus thinkable.
Open entryHaus am Horn
The only building the Bauhaus realized during its Weimar years — a compact experimental house that turned the school's workshop output into a single, coordinated domestic environment.
Open entryMasters' Houses
Faculty residences in Dessau that turned modern domesticity into a visible, inhabited extension of the school — and into a testing ground for the objects its workshops produced.
Open entryTea Infuser
Marianne Brandt's 1924 tea infuser — a student prototype that became one of the most reproduced images in Bauhaus history, despite never entering mass production.
Open entryWagenfeld Table Lamp
The metal-and-glass table lamp that became the most recognizable Bauhaus product — designed by students, hand-assembled in tiny numbers, and commercially unsuccessful during the school's lifetime.
