Questions About Bauhaus Decorative Boxes
- What is the Bauhaus style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The Bauhaus style is characterized by plain geometric shapes such as rectangles and spheres that are devoid of ornamentation. The Bauhaus was a progressive German art and design school founded by the architect Walter Gropius that operated from 1919 to 1933. The goal of the Bauhaus was to erase the distinction between art and craft, while embracing the use of new technologies and materials. The school moved from Weimar in 1925 to the city of Dessau, where it enjoyed its heyday under Gropius, then Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Find a collection of Bauhaus style furniture, paintings and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- What is meant by the Bauhaus?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

Online reviewers frequently state that the designers’ iconic chairs, such as the Wassily Lounge chair and Brno chair, are comfortable. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Bauhaus-style chairs.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Marcel Breuer became an apprentice and student at the Bauhaus school in 1920. He made a big impression on the school's founder, Walter Gropius, and later became the head of the institution's furniture workshop. Find a selection of Marcel Breuer furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022No, not everything that Mies van der Rohe produced is considered Bauhaus architecture.
