Episode Description (Short — for Spotify / Apple Podcasts)

A German art school that closed in 1933 still decides how your chair looks, how your shelves are made, and why your favourite app feels the way it does.

In this episode, we trace the Bauhaus movement from its radical roots — where artists, craftspeople, and industrialists were forced into the same room — to its quiet domination of 21st-century design. We unpack why "form follows function" became one of the most repeated (and most misunderstood) phrases in design history, how a tubular steel chair became a global icon, and why the same principles that shaped affordable mass production now underpin luxury architecture, IKEA's supply chain, and the UX of your phone screen. If you work in hospitality, retail, or commercial fitout, Bauhaus isn't history — it's your brief.

Sharp knowledge. No filler. This is Built for Tomorrow.
