Bauhaus
Bauhaus refers to a modern design movement founded in Germany in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus school emphasized simplicity, functional design, and geometric forms. The influence of Bauhaus design extended to many decorative arts, including carpets and textiles. Carpets inspired by Bauhaus principles often feature abstract geometric patterns, bold color blocks, and minimalist design elements. These designs reflect the modernist aesthetic that became influential in 20th-century architecture and interior decoration.
