Bauhaus Air Purifier Will Clean Your Air in Style

3D

We’ve read a number of times in the past year that your indoor air could be dirtier than the air outside your home. And that’s not to mention the issue that wildfires and other hazards have done to air quality lately.

Air purifiers are rarely beautiful, however. The Bauhaus, by Keereem Lee, aims to change that, with a distinct style recalling the Bauhaus design from the early 20th century.

The contrasting shapes and forms create a compelling home object, one that feels more like art than a home appliance.

While only a design concept at this point, we’re impressed by the form, and hope objects like this can help bring more design and beauty into your home, all while helpfully cleaning the air.

“I designed an air purifier by expressing the poster of Bauhaus in 3D. It is an air purifier containing the philosophy of Bauhaus, which is designed based on basic figures, and my values pursuing modern design. You can show off your personality in the color you want.”

Colored Geometric Vases Inspired by Bauhaus Aesthetic

Architecture

This series of vases look like they stepped out of a Bauhaus design collective from the 1920s.  The distinctive geometric forms and primary colors have a minimal yet instantly recognizable form, indicative of the forward-thinking era of the early 20th century.

Designed by Philippine-based Ashley Case, the vases are suspended in an elegant wire frame, making them feel well supported and balanced.

We appreciate the nod to the past with this series. See more of the designer’s work on her website.

Futura: Still Strong, 85 Years On

Art

It’s sometimes hard to believe that something “modern” looking could be close to 100 years old. But that’s the beauty of timeless design. In the world of typography, Futura is that case in point.

Here is a beautiful short film about Futura.

Futura was designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. Based on geometric shapes, it became representative of visual elements of the Bauhaus design style of 1919–1933.Commissioned by the Bauer Type Foundry, in reaction to Ludwig & Mayer’s seminal Erbar of 1922, Futura was commercially released in 1927.  In designing Futura, Renner avoided the decorative, eliminating non-essential elements. Indeed, Futura is one of the very first sans-serif typefaces ever created, and it has been used in countless applications, from movie titles to corporate identities to even the NASA Apollo 11 plaque that sits on the moon. Here’s to the next 85 years, Futura. I bet you’ll still look good in the year 2097.
