Bauhaus is back! And its bolder and brighter than ever.
Bauhaus is an iconic modern design style. Form and function go hand in hand. Bauhaus as an approach combines use and beauty. Lighting is a fantastic example of this as our Bauhaus style lights are both practical and super stylish. Lights are Bauhaus in their very nature, functional, providing necessary illumination and beautiful, representing a myriad of styles and becoming a defining part of a rooms overall style and impression.
In the Bauhaus school of thought, tone, line and colour interact to create the overall impression. Viewed by Gestalt psychologists and artists such as Kandinsky as inseparable. The Gestalt psychology movement was big at this time and often was taught in Bauhaus schools. A principle being, the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts and helped us understand how overall perception works. Kandinsky’s artistic style posited that shapes were best in certain colours.
Here the Hyde is pictured with abstract Bauhaus style art work which really ties the look together as the colours echo the fitting.
