Theodor Bogler, Mocha Machine, 1923
Founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, the Bauhaus design school sought to reunite art and industry by returning to the crafts—and, in the process, to create a more humane society. Under the leadership of Walter Gropius and then Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Bauhaus became perhaps the most influential design movement of the 20th century.
