It’s rather a story why Ingo Maurer had quitted his career as a graphic designer. There was a day Ingo Maurer had tea time and he was lying down, the lamps hanging over the ceiling arose his interest, thus he started the life of lighting design. Then, Ingo Maurer had strong interest about the design of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) which much more prefer something economical and save energies from being increase the bulbs or can be used in many ways like transparent, flexible lights source and flat. And thus, he created first OLED table lamp which allowed to bring back home in 2008.

Yet, his quote ‘making art a part of function’ shows he’s able to make his design in such a unique and different like no one has.

In other way, Ingo Maurer had given a name ‘a poet of light’. This name came with Ingo Maurer has design patent in adding some elements or structures and eventually make his product full of poetic. By the way, he is somewhat fascinated on ‘magical and mystical’ features of lights. He is well-played in making some changes so that his product could be matched under different lighting atmosphere, colors of space and brightness or shadow.

WHAT’S THE DESIGN STYLES APPLIED AND MATERIALS USED…?

WHAT IS BAUHAUS ART MOVEMENT…?

Bauhaus is an important art movement founded in German. Bauhaus school, also intitules the House of Architecture is the famous art movement in 20th century. Bauhaus in German means a typeface of contemporary in architectural career. The Bauhaus school started from 1919 to 1933 and yet it has been gone through 3 phases among these 14 years in 3 different places. The first stage is started in the city of Weimar. The second stage is the most stable stage after Bauhaus declared as an art movement between 1923 and 1928. In 1925, the Bauhaus was then moved from Weimar to Dessau by reason of Weimar’s government lose their strength. So that Bauhaus transferred to Berlin in 1928 to 1933. There was 3 directors hold the rights of Bauhaus in the 3 different stages (by Brian Kievning).

The first stage was led by Walter Gropius, but this affair was then succeeded to an architect Hannes Meyer and become the second director of Bauhaus. After Bauhaus shifted to Berlin in 1930, the third director has been taking over by Architect Mies van der Rohe. Yet, Walter Gropius is the most important stage which to be concerned so much in Bauhaus because Gropius’s goal in developing technologies combine together with arts and crafts. Gropius is the first person who found out Bauhaus, yet one of the most important things Gropius be the main focused is he has different idea on Bauhaus and did something that never been before such as technology (by LibbyAnn93 on Oct 12, 2011). Gropius was the pioneer of Bauhaus affected by the art movement at 19th and 20th century possesses Victorian England. Futuristic is one of the feature among art movements which been chosen by Gropius in designing as in Gropius would like to make a fusion buildings that architects and designers can work together and create a future buildings by using advanced technologies.

THE FOUNDING OF BAUHAUS

Architect Walter Gropius mentioned Bauhaus is an idea reformation rather than an original idea. Therefore, the skills of technology have to be always maintained while understanding the changes of ideation. Other than that, technology education is a must learn skill to ensure the needs of society for further modify. Traditional design could not change yet it has to keep its original design. According to Gropius, the Bauhaus is not only involved traditional design or old school design, but it has to mix some new elements to reach the goal of produce future’s design. Gropius is about to keep the original old school design, he has add on some new elements or modify in designing. By the way, Bauhaus is not teaching the artist or architect separately, it wants to apply unique features on design or can be assumed Bauhaus design combines many types of elements. In the past, Bauhaus regards as a pure education in teaching architect or fine arts. It tends to link all branches of fine arts and architect in one object and thus there was different styles and different levels been used in one object. The Bauhaus would like to combine all universities of architect and fine arts. And thus, Bauhaus has 3 main elements in design which is architecture, fine arts and engineers building technology. It helps Bauhaus in designing which has combination of those fields. Then, Bauhaus also request students explore their minds, encourage talented take part in set out new designs. Where after the first school of Bauhaus in German was born, students who interested in fusion designing are encourage to enroll and learn the way of create new design.

BAUHAUS PHILOSOPHY

Been crowned the world’s most popular modern art and design movement, Bauhaus is tending to achieve aesthetic synthesis which is cover all the brands of arts as first step of architecture. Other than that, Bauhaus tends to produce people’s needs according to the population. It does not depend on the different levels people, the only thing to do is designing. Architect is one of the elements used the most in Bauhaus, people are require make sure they have learn the skills of using in architect. It shows the importance of architect skills. It was a disadvantage when painting, sculpture, arts and crafts from architecture been taught solely, architect should be taught all in one.

The poverty of First World War brought huge impacts affected design, architecture and art changed from their original style. Thus aesthetic synthesis formed in Bauhaus movement which is a combination of modern stuffs. The Bauhaus style is purism, while the surface is very smooth enough with straight edges and finally produces slim form. Bauhaus is going in for simple design, prevention of more than what is due have to be maintain all the time. Bauhaus is mostly use in furniture designing, shinning steels considers the main material use in furniture among other materials such as glasses, bent woods, leathers and plastics. Between, furniture design has to be light and less additional decoration. When mentioned about colors of chosen for Bauhaus furniture, black, grey, white, brown and chromium would be the first choice. But sometimes there was some primary colors used to reduce the darkness of the entire look and gives feelings of comfy.
