Photo by Doreen Ritzau, Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A century ago in Weimar, Germany, architect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/walter-gropius\/\">Walter Gropius<\/a> established the Staatliches <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/bauhaus\/?page=1\">Bauhaus<\/a>,<strong> <\/strong>a novel type of design school that united art, craft and technology. Gropius\u2019s ambition \u2014 shared by the diverse crew of architects, artists and designers who signed on to be a part of the experiment \u2014 was to shape a new, modern way of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/dessau-bauhaus\/\">moved in 1925 to the city of Dessau<\/a>, where it enjoyed its heyday under Gropius, then Hannes Meyer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/ludwig-mies-van-der-rohe\/\">Ludwig Mies van der Rohe<\/a>. The period from 1932 to 1933 when it operated in Berlin under Mies was its final chapter, but it was not by any means the end of its influence. Although it existed for just 14 years, the Bauhaus left a tremendous legacy whose impact is still felt today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A yearlong celebration marking the centennial of the school\u2019s founding is now in full swing. \u201c100 Years of Bauhaus,\u201d which kicked off in January with a nine-day festival in Berlin, encompasses a dizzying schedule of events throughout Germany and around the globe, including a slate of major exhibitions and the launch of new museums in each of the three main Bauhaus cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bauhaus-Museum Weimar, set to open April 6, will house the world\u2019s oldest collection of the school\u2019s works, combining an examination of the movement\u2019s history with an exploration of ways its principles might be applied in the future. \u201cBauhaus Imaginista,\u201d a traveling exhibition and research project tracking the global dissemination of Bauhaus ideals, culminates in a show at Berlin\u2019s Haus der Kulturen der Welt that starts its run in March. And the Grand Tour of Modernism takes visitors around Germany to view examples of Bauhaus and modernist architecture, from the Haus am Horn, in Weimar, to a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/le-corbusier\/\">Le Corbusier<\/a> houses in Stuttgart that have been added to the Unesco World Heritage list. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From textiles to typefaces, furniture, objects and architecture, Bauhaus creations continue to have an outsize influence on design. Here are a few of our favorite examples. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/desk-accessories\/more-desk-accessories\/bauhaus-paper-holder-marianne-brandt-ruppelwerk-gotha-1930s-germany\/id-f_12361451\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master.jpg\" alt=\"Paper holder by Marianne Brandt for Ruppelwerk\" class=\"wp-image-330842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/12361451_master-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/desk-accessories\/more-desk-accessories\/bauhaus-paper-holder-marianne-brandt-ruppelwerk-gotha-1930s-germany\/id-f_12361451\/\">Marianne Brandt for Ruppelwerk paper holder, 1930s<\/a>, offered by MUNICHMODERN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/marianne-brandt\/\">Marianne Brandt<\/a>, known mainly for her products in metal and glass, began as a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1923.
