Anyone who thinks that Bauhaus is a DIY market in the East Cantons is missing out. And those who love minimalism with a nostalgic twist will find Bauhaus to be a genuine source of inspiration! Pure materials, functionality and minimalism create a young and timeless interior. Bauhaus is certainly worth considering as inspiration for your interior.
Bauhaus as the basis
American architect Louis Sullivan was the first to come up with the ‘form follows function’ concept. Bauhaus architects designed not for the purposes of aesthetics alone but focused on functionality while avoiding excessive decoration. The innovative Bauhaus style broke with the previous concepts and opened up a world of sleek lines and new materials. Steel, chrome, aluminium, glass, cement and concrete are the favourite materials of the Bauhaus style, preferably with striking contrasts in the structures and shapes.
Contemporary minimalism
The sleek, rational and functional designs of this architecture, which emerged in the twenties, is currently very trendy as a result of its timeless character. With a history of over 100 years, it is understandable that Bauhaus is still just as popular.
Choose Bauhaus door fittings, then go for cool, minimalist aesthetics that are showcased in both classic and modern interiors.
Bauhaus door fittings
As the name may suggest, this door handle was created in around 1920, at the zenith of the Bauhaus period. Classic door handles that sit perfectly within a modern interior? That’s what you get with Bauhaus door fittings! The rectangular shapes create a sleek design and simplicity.
Youthful and timeless
PS: This sleek furniture knob comes in 5 different sizes (PQ15-PQ20-PQ25-PQ35-PQ45). Despite the rectangular shape, it exudes warmth due to the natural materials in which it is created. Ideal for a young and timeless interior. This knob is also stunning in combination with furniture handle PMQ and door handles PH1920 and PQ45/50Q.
