It's hard to believe how short lived the Bauhaus movement was when you consider its lasting impact on modern design. You'll recognize a lot of the names associated with it, whose work still appears in living rooms published in Livingetc today, despite the Bauhaus school lasting for only 14 years.
The curves of the Bauhaus architecture style are hugely influential, and they reflected a change in attitudes and possibility of a new way of life seen in the aftermath of World War I. In fact, as part of my history degree at university I wrote a paper on the subject, looking at whether Bauhaus interiors and architecture was borne out of a new way of living, or whether it caused it (spoiler: they really went hand in hand).
