Gropius Director's room

Bauhaus Rug by Gertrud Arndt + F51 Armchair by Walter Gropius

The F51 armchair by Walter Gropius and an icon of German weaving by Gertrud Arndt for his Director's room in Weimar. This office also served as a showroom where works from the various workshops were presented to visitors.


Master of Modernism

Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus strove to create a visionary and Utopian craft guild that would combine beauty with usefulness through architecture, sculpture, painting, and crafts and engineering.

Structures built in the style of Bauhaus featured many aspects that would later come to define modern architecture – frame structures of steel, glass facades. The Bauhaus was a trendsetter in architecture and design for a hundred years.

Bauhaus Design Carpet

An icon of German weaving and the Bauhaus is the Bauhaus carpet by Gertrud Arndt from 1924, because the single copy produced at that time was found in the office of the Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius in Weimar. 

This director's office also served as a showroom where works from the various workshops were presented to visitors.

Authenticity

The re-editions of the Bauhaus models faithfully produced have been approved by the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin and bear the institute's logo as designed by Oskar Schlemmer and Gertrud Arndt at Bauhaus.

The Soul of Bauhaus Design

TECTA produces essential modern design. It discovers, invents, explains, mediates, excites, and breathes new life into material things.

The colourful composition of the Bauhaus carpet by Gertrud Arndt is a design from 1924 and was first published by TEPPICH DRECHSLE in 2019 as part of the Bauhaus anniversary. In the 1920s, the carpet with its numerous squares was only produced once as a knotted carpet.
