This minimalist cross design distills the Bauhaus philosophy to its essence. Constructed from intersecting, curved black forms set against a neutral cream background, the poster feels architectural and elemental. The striking contrast and symmetrical balance recall the movement’s desire to reduce design to its purest components, form, function, and harmony.

Dating to 1919, the inaugural year of the Bauhaus school, this piece embodies the spirit of radical experimentation and clarity. It’s a powerful visual metaphor for intersection and unity, principles central to both design and society. A subtle yet powerful addition to any contemporary or mid-century decor.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Bauhaus

Bauhaus

The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, and quickly became one of the most influential art and design schools of the 20th century. Born in the aftermath of World War I, the movement sought to unify art, craft, and technology under a single creative vision. At its core, Bauhaus rejected ornate decoration in favour of functionality, simplicity, and geometric clarity—an ethos that would go on to shape modern architecture, industrial design, and graphic arts across the globe. The school moved from Weimar to Dessau in 1925 and later to Berlin before being shut down by the Nazis in 1933.

The Bauhaus was home to some of the most pioneering artists, designers, and architects of its time. Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy, and Marianne Brandt were just a few of the luminaries who taught or studied at the institution. Each brought their own discipline and aesthetic—ranging from colour theory and abstraction to photography and industrial design—yet shared a commitment to exploring how creativity could enhance everyday life. Their teachings and experiments laid the foundation for movements such as modernism, minimalism, and the International Style.

Bauhaus design drew inspiration from Constructivism, De Stijl, and the Arts and Crafts movement, but it established a unique visual language centred on clean lines, functional form, and innovative material use. Furniture, typography, textiles, and architecture from this era remain iconic to this day. The Bauhaus legacy lives on through its continued influence on design education, contemporary aesthetics, and the principles of good design: clarity, purpose, and elegance through restraint.
