The Bauhaus was a hugely influential German school of modernist art and design which existed in Weimar, then Dessau, and finally Berlin until 1933, when it was closed down by the Nazis. Like the English Arts and Crafts movement before it, the Bauhaus aimed to reform the making of everyday objects. But the Bauhaus, rather than rejecting the machine, embraced the functional aesthetic of industrial production — Martin Gayford
