Brands that influenced by Bauhaus Style II

Actually there more brands are following the Bauhaus theory. The art of Bauhaus is coming back in 21st-century style with old designs and new capabilities.  It is an inspiring legacy that at times looked back into history to move us forward. 

IKEA


For instance, The  set of tables on the right is a Bauhaus creation and was first introduced in 1925 by Josef Albers. This product is currently priced at $1950.00.

However, the  set of tables on the left were first introduced in 2012 and is produced and sold by Ikea today, it is also referred to as a modern piece of furniture. This product is currently priced at £90.00
                                 



Nesting Table, 1925                     IKEA Nesting Table


The chair on the left is produced and sold by Ikea today and is referred to as a modern piece of furniture. This product is currently priced at £100.00
The chair on the right is a Bauhaus chair, designed in 1956 by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. This product is currently priced at £310.00


 
From the examples, you can tell how Bauhaus has impacted today's designers by the similarities in materials, design style and colour. The price of these products has also significantly decreased over the years and has become a consumable item to a broader market due to its affordability.

Other than furniture and technology, Fashion started to explore this

style already in 20 century when Yves Saint Laurent created collection entitled 'Modrian' in 1965. It featured combined color-blocking basic hues on dresses. In today's ready to wear lookbooks and runway shows this trend appears almost in every collection.
