CHAIRS OF THE BAUHAUS

TIER LIST 


After this weeks design pop quiz on the Bauhaus I felt pretty dissapointed I didn’t even think to guess this. Most influential design school in history and I don’t have a clue. I only had the thought that it might be the Bauhaus when the picture of the building popped up. So not great. I’ve been trying to think about a different way to approach this topic. How do I talk about a subject in a different way that’s been done a million times before. I thought it might be interesting to rank and compare arguably the most popular designs that came from the school... chairs.
