More than 100 years ago at Bauhaus school a group of young creative souls have been shaping design as we know, between those students there were a bunch of such intelligent and talented women but unfortunately less known until now.
Those women also shaped furniture and product design introducing their own techniques, special treatments and finishes on materials through Bauhaus school, later some of them have worked toghether with the most knowledge Bauhaus Masters but also there were other women of the Bauhaus less known with remarkable work, we like to make a little homage to them and share with you these female references in architecture, design, art&crafts.
Alma Buscher designed toys that allowed children to imitate but also to unfold their own creativity. Her “Little Ship-Building Game” is still produced today.
Porträt Alma Siedhoff-Buscher / Foto: Atelier Hüttich-Oemler (Weimar), 1923, Reproduktion.
She was a graphic artist, typographer and photographer.
Stern and Rosenberg worked together they founded the photo and advertising studio ‘ringl+pit’ a successful duo in the advertising business in Berlin and quickly made a name for themselves in the advertising and art scenes with their ironical photomontages, which often questioned traditional images of women.
Her career flew through different ideological and cultural contexts. Color was essential to Bergner’s work, not simply because they provide different ways to articulate a medium, but also because they strengthen the work in a plastic sense. Later she married with Hannes Meyer and both have worked in architectural and industrial design works, although they did become involved in other fields.
