Ati's room, cont.
Included in the furnishings in Ati's room is a walnut and birch desk designed by Walter Gropius and made in the Bauhaus carpentry workshop in 1922. Made for Gropius's use in the director's room in the Weimar Bauhaus, it reflects the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the emphasis on craftsmanship during the early years of the Bauhaus. Paired with the desk is a tubular steel and cane chair designed by Breuer during the years of the Dessau Bauhaus in 1928, and intended for mass production. These two pieces illustrate how the Bauhaus design philosophy evolved to emphasize simple mass-producible designs.
