In our week in 3D design, we looked at iconic products and designers. While I was researching Bauhaus, I found a teapot designed by Marianne Brandt. What I like about this piece is that although it was designed in 1927, it looks as if it could have been designed this year because the simple lines and shapes make it very modern and contemporary.
Bauhaus products are designed to be functional as well as decorative, and I think this teapot fulfills that purpose very well. It has a heat resistant handle and a built in tea strainer, so functions well, and is also very sculptural in its form.
I also love the simplicity of this Bauhaus book cradle, it performs its function in that it holds books, but the primary colours and simple shapes make it a beautiful piece of design.
Bauhaus design seems to me to be timeless.
