iF, 바우하우스 100주년을 기념하다
Teatime with Walter Gropius: TAC 1 by Rosenthal honored by iF in 1970
2019 was the year of the Bauhaus – the worldwide most influential school of art, design and ideas celebrated its centenary. We celebrate this avant-garde movement by starting a special design dedicated Bauhaus expert series. What links Bauhaus Icons to iF? As a highlight, we will take you on a journey deep into our iF archives to find traces and names of the Bauhaus. Our first encounter is no other than Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius (1883-1969) himself – and a Teapot by German Porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal.
Architect and Avant-garde master of modernism, Walter Gropius inspired and sculpted the whole idea, aesthetics and people of the Bauhaus. He attracted other architects, artists and designers for his new school in Weimar (1919), later in Dessau, which ideology and key elements outlast time and still influence our aesthetic perception every day!
We at iF are very proud to have one of his designs in the iF Design Excellence: In 1970 he sketched a teapot series TAC 1 by Rosenthal in the discipline “product”.
Walter Gropius가 세상을 떠난 지 1년 후,
Rosenthal은 TAC 1 티포트 디자인을 출품했고, 이 작품은 1970년 iF 디자인 어워드를 수상했습니다. TAC 1 티포트는 Walter Gropius 특유의 단순한 기하학적 형태를 통해 그의 대표적인 건축적 바우하우스 스타일을 보여줍니다. 시리즈 디자인 전반에 아이코닉한 원과 구의 형태를 자유롭게 활용해, 이를 핵심 조형 요소이자 바우하우스의 상징으로 표현한 점이 특히 돋보입니다. 또한 Walter Gropius의 디자인 철학답게 티포트의 형태는 본체의 구조를 모든 디테일에서 충실히 따르고 있습니다.
