I really enjoyed this video, Matthew! Special thanks for talking about the Gropius house and showing pictures. I now have a new design destination to visit once this craziness is over.
The luckhardt st14 chair looks like the supports were pinned or riveted. It's hard to tell, but there's that small circle where it looks like corrosion is in the gap, and also because the end of the fastner is flush.
I have to confess that it is now 6 months later and while washing dishes this morning I FINALLY got your very good joke. I don;t know why it took me so long. But thank you. Just a delayed thank you because I seem to be a little humor impaired!!!!
I wish I could go back in time as a young ignorant person and start my design education all over again with you as my only teacher. (btw I've studied design in Germany with first generation students of the Bauhaus)
I went to the Dessau Bauhaus School (for a tour) last year for the 100 year anniversary. What a beautiful place, LOTS of space, sunlight beams passing through the whole building. Thank you M. Bird for sharing your videos online, this is highly appreciated!
Do you know if any contempo glass manufacturers are making a storage system like Wagenfeld's Kubus? (If it's affordable, I'd love to buy some for myself and send some your way!)
Sadly the closest I have found are the Ikea glass food storage containers. Bamboo lids or plastic clip-on lids. Stacking, nesting, different sizes available, lids interchangeable. But they are functional more than visually inspiring....
The WNL30 LAMP.... With a few modifications. I See that lamp making a very good "Patient" Lamp... placed on BOTH Sides of a Hospital Bed! From someone who's been A patient Enough times! I see a few changes... to turn it into a good single light for the nurse to use at night... where the light could be turned and directed only where the nurse needs it.
Very enjoyable-even though Frank lloyd Wright had no connection to the Bauhaus, he did design bent steel tubing furniture as well (see Johnsons Wax Corporate offices). I'd like your opinon on this.
I'm not a design student but as a reseller I'm finding so much information in an engaging way that I'm gonna watch all your videos , thanks for all your hard work! :)
Love these presentations. And I think it’s perfectly okay in a spoken lecture to say ‘so’ when explaining sequential properties of a design as you do. “Thus”, “therefore”, and “hence” are all rather formal and much more common in writing than in everyday conversation, where they are almost always substituted by “so”.
My partner and I are 3rd generation antique collectors, your videos are helping us refine our collections and our taste! Thank you for putting these lectures online!
Question: Do you think that Meis used flat bar stock for the Barcelona furniture and other works because of Breuer's patent on the ways of bending tubing? It would be fascinating to know about their relationship--a recent grad outdoing the famous master of design, presumably his teacher, and the teacher playing catch-up. I know Meis did bent-tubing furniture before the Barcelona pavilion, but there might have been some contention there.
Such a good question! I bet flat stock was the obvious choice because there were only meant to be 2 made for the pavilion. No need to consider serial manufacturing or cost. In fact, the more expensive the better. It didn't go into any kind of regular production for many years. Tubing was more affordable and the bends more easily repeated, so the right choice if production was the goal.

This channel and this video is the best thing that exists on the internet! Bless you sir!

That camo blazer and tie omg too good 🙌
Unafraid to dress like a clown!
@@HistoryofID I was going to say, oh that blazer and tie, what were you thinking? but then I'm shy, and you're rather splendid. So there.
k
BDUs blazer is genius
Its like going back to design school... but with a great teacher. Thanks
Bauhaus design influenced a lot of what we see today, whether that’s IKEA furniture, lamps by Tom Dixon or everyday architecture.
Barcelona chair *drool*
Thank YOU very much ❤ 😁
54:30 So it was a folding chair company? I'll show myself out.

You are a very great orator!
A teacher with a comouflage jacket and tie. Do you need to be that martial?
“Stretched bubble gum” for Art Nouveau? Sad
Just discovered your videos today, thanks for posting these lectures!!! Really great stuff.
Your videos are THE BEST! I always go back to them. 🪑🗜🚲 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and great taste!
