Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was the most important German movement that tried to combine all the different fields of art in perfect unison. The artists' ties to academic specialisation were supposed to be severed by new pedagogic techniques in order to go back to the artists' manual skills.
The short period of creation and design by the Bauhaus protagonists, who were forced by the Nazis to leave Germany in 1933, had an impact that still can be felt to this day.

This goes especially for the furniture designed by the Bauhaus, which reflects the claim of aestheticism and functionalism in an ideal way.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the last principle of the Bauhaus, dissolved the school in Berlin in 1993.
