The Bauhaus, the birthplace of classical modernism, stands today for many, above all, for new principles in architecture. But also in other areas, the legendary institution was formative and successful - one of which was the weaving.
From aesthetics to function
In the beginning, however, weaving had a more artistic focus. The students were taught by the painters Johannes Itten, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, whose color and form teachings they transferred to the loom. The often discussed function was often neglected: the play with the opposites of thick and delicate, matte and shiny threads created unique aesthetic results, but they were not suitable for use.
Needs-based material
When the construction department of the Bauhaus was ready for operation in 1927, the weaving mill could hardly save itself from work. New textiles had to be developed for all possible areas of "new building": tear-resistant meterware, washable curtains, sound-absorbing wall coverings. The creation of low-cost materials, including synthetic fibers, was intensified under the second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer.
Under the communication bracket "Building and Atmosphere", the emco Group offers architects, planners and investors a comprehensive product portfolio, which contributes to the individual atmosphere of each building, as well as tailor-made advice.
