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.

Bauhaus-Inspired Home Decor Makes the Strongest Case for Modernist Living Right Now

Bauhaus-inspired home decor is more relevant in 2026 than at any prior moment—positioned against trend fatigue, fast furniture, and AI-generated aesthetics as a disciplined, sustainable, and intellectually coherent alternative.

Wassily Kandinsky at his desk, Ainmillerstraße 36, Munich, June 1913. A quiet moment where early abstraction began to take shape.

Architecture for a modern society. The Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart was not conceived as a monument, but as an experiment.

Built in 1927 as part of the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition under the artistic direction of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the project brought together leading architects including Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Hans Scharoun to explore new forms of modern living.

Flat roofs, open plans, light-filled spaces and industrial construction methods reflected a radical shift in how architecture could respond to modern society.

Nearly a century later, the Weissenhof Estate remains one of the most influential architectural experiments of the modern movement.

Bauhaus Experience Week · June / July

Weimar. Dessau. Berlin.

For selected dates in June and July, we are opening a limited special phase for our Bauhaus Experience journeys. Not a conventional tour, but a curated journey into the origins of modern architecture, design and living.

From Haus am Horn in Weimar to the Bauhaus Building and the Masters’ Houses in Dessau, and further into Berlin, the journey follows one central idea: not only to see the Bauhaus, but to understand it.

Special conditions are available during this period for individual travelers, small groups and institutions. Selected formats may also include a Bauhaus Masterpiece object as a material anchor accompanying the experience.
