Designed by Walter Gropius between 1925 and 1926, the Bauhaus building in Dessau became a defining symbol of modern architecture. Its asymmetrical composition, curtain-wall glazing and functional clarity transformed the way architecture was conceived and experienced.

These contemporary architectural illustrations by Sander Patelski pay tribute to that legacy through the precision of drawing, proportion and light.

Mies van der Rohe in 1927, the Cantilever Chair

Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927, the Cantilever Chair challenged conventional furniture design. Its graceful tubular steel frame eliminated the rear legs, creating the illusion of a floating seat while expressing the clarity and precision that became synonymous with modern architecture.

Discover Ludwig Mies van der Rohe:

A chair that redefined modern furniture. Designed by Marcel Breuer at the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1925, the B3 Club Chair, later known as the Wassily Chair, transformed tubular steel and leather into one of the most influential furniture designs of the twentieth century. Inspired by the lightweight construction of a bicycle, it remains a lasting icon of modern design.

For decades, the work of Lilly Reich and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has often been viewed through different lenses. Yet many of the defining works of modern architecture and design emerged through their close professional collaboration.

From the Weissenhof Exhibition and the Velvet and Silk Café to the Barcelona Pavilion, the Barcelona Chair and the Tugendhat House, this journey explores projects that helped redefine space, materials and modern design.

This story is not about assigning credit to one over the other. It is about understanding how creative collaboration shaped some of the most influential works of the twentieth century.

Some of these places can still be experienced today in Stuttgart, Berlin, Dessau and Brno. Preserving their stories is one thing. Walking through them is another. Bauhaus Experience connects these stories with the places where they happened.

Not every Bauhaus story begins with a building.

Some begin with a friendship.

In Dessau, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee lived side by side in the Masters’ Houses designed by Walter Gropius. Beyond their roles as Bauhaus masters, they shared years of artistic exchange, mutual respect and a common search for new visual languages.

Their works often followed different paths, yet both explored how colour, form and composition could express ideas beyond the visible world.

The Masters’ Houses remain one of the most fascinating places to understand not only the Bauhaus, but also the creative dialogue between two of the twentieth century’s most influential artists.

These original student IDs from the Bauhaus Dessau school belonged to young designers, artists, and architects who helped shape modernity.
