The Forgotten History of Bauhaus Furniture Design


Listen Later

Ever wondered how the Bauhaus movement transformed furniture design? This episode uncovers the hidden gems of Bauhaus history—designs that shaped modern living but often go unnoticed. We talk about forgotten pioneers like Erich Dieckmann, who revolutionized modular furniture, and Lilly Reich, whose innovative use of materials elevated both form and function.

We’ll explore the iconic yet overlooked pieces, like Josef Albers’ vibrant nesting tables and Alma Siedhoff-Buscher’s playful children’s furniture. Have you ever thought about how simplicity and functionality became the gold standard in design? Or how these principles are more relevant today than ever, especially with the rise of sustainable and modular furniture?

Join us as we give these unsung heroes the spotlight they deserve. It’s time to celebrate the pieces that quietly shaped the way we live and work.
