A Bauhaus Summer
"Bunt ist meine Lieblingsfarbe. / Colourful is my favourite colour."
• Walter Gropius
Bauhaus was more than just an art school • it was a way of thinking, a fresh perspective on how we shape the world around us. Clean lines, geometric forms, and the harmony of beauty and functionality were at its core.
A Bauhaus Summer draws inspiration from this movement, translating its ideas into a collection of colorful, lightweight knits, perfect for long, sunlit days.
Harmony in form and colour
This collection embodies the Bauhaus aesthetic: bold yet balanced, minimalist yet expressive. Graphic patterns, subtle colour contrasts, and architectural shapes come together in perfect harmony.
The iconic primary colors of Bauhaus make way for a softer summer palette, while the movement’s love for structure is reflected in crisp patterns and refined details.
Celebrating the Women of Bauhaus
Each piece in this collection is named after a groundbreaking woman from the Bauhaus movement, honoring the artists, designers, and thinkers who played a crucial role in shaping Bauhaus but often remained in the background. While the men became widely recognized, their female counterparts were frequently overlooked. With this collection, we shine a light on these women and celebrate their contributions to this revolutionary movement.
• Marianne Brandt was a pioneer of the Bauhaus movement, renowned for her innovative metalwork designs and her influence on industrial design. She seamlessly blended functionality with aesthetics, paving the way for modern design practices.
• Martha Erps-Breuer made her mark in textile and graphic design. Her work reflected the minimalist and functional Bauhaus aesthetic, skillfully merging art and craftsmanship.
• Kitty van der Mijll Dekker was a talented Bauhaus ceramicist, known for her geometric forms and experimental approach to glazing. She pushed the boundaries of ceramic design while staying true to Bauhaus principles of simplicity and functionality.
• Lucia Moholy was a key figure in Bauhaus photography, celebrated for her innovative approach to photography as an art form. Through her focus on light, shadow, and geometry, she helped shape the visual language of Bauhaus.
Like their work, this collection is built on thoughtful design.
