The AEG Electric tea kettle was a industrial invention made by Peter Behrns in Berlin Germany in the year of 1909. The Kettle was labeled as an industrial invention because it was made during the industrial revolution time era, this time era had a specific style, which gave artifacts specific standards. One of which were the materials used, another was design, and technology. According to collections.com, the kettle was made out of Brass and wicker material. These materials were used most often in the industrial time era because it was most avalible, easy to mass-produce and gave a futuristic design style (collections .par 2). Another significant industrial standard was design, Berhs created three different design styles for this speficic artifact. …show more content…
The handle of the kettle look simple and is curved with balance” (Abdulaziz . par 5). These unique design elements that Bernhs created combined gave the kettle a industrial design look to them, balanced yet very modern and trendy during that time period. The last design standard of industrial design was the use of technology in this product. This technology used inside the kettle was a very innovative design; there was no product like it. In fact, according to collections.com, in the Inside of the kettle there was electric wiring, and it ran along the inside of the kettle. This technology heated the liquid up (either tea or coffee) in the kettle just by plugging it into the wall (collections .par 1). This innovative industrial technology made it possible for people’s lives to be easier, it allowed people to use this appliance anytime and anywhere. Looking at this invention, this was a unique industrial artifact because it was not only a household appliance that convenient to use anywhere, it was also a stylish statement piece in any household. This is an example of form follows …show more content…
par 3). However, before he became interesting in industrial design, Berhns made other types of arts as well. For example, he did many modernism type arcuteture, applied art style paintings as well as many art nuvo (organic abstract) style graphic designs in the 1900 (abdulaizz . par 3). Soon after experimenting with different styles of design, he soon found the love of industrial design and arcutecture. In 1903, Behrns stopped practicing the organic abstract style and focused more on simplicity and geometric forms, which is called the industrial design style. Then after 3 years, Berns was hired to work for the founder of AEG (General Electricity Company) and where he designed and helped develop brochures, appliances like electric kettles and lamps for the company as well as the company's building ( Abdulazzi . par 4). All of his designed for this company followed one specific style, which was indusial design. Berns industrial designs, according to Abduaizz, “ reduced to geometric shapes and the absence of the ornamental design makes it less of a decorative… and more of a functional design” (abdulaizz . par 3). This design style was very unique, the designs were simple yet a very functional design for anybody to use in there everyday life. In 1914,
Marcel Breuer, born in the early 1900’s in Hungary, was one of the first and youngest students to learn under the Bauhaus style, taught by Walter Gropius. Breuer started his career designing furniture, using tubular, or “handle bar like”, steel (Dodd, Mead, and Company 32). One of the most popular of these furniture designs was his Club Chair B3designed in 1922. In the 1930’s, Breuer moved to the United States to teach and practice architecture. In the 1950’s, he received the Medal of Honor from the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Between 1960 and 1980, Breuer was honored with several honorary doctoral degrees from several universities around the world. After retiring in 1976 due to poor health, Breuer was awarded several other awards, and his work was displayed in exhibitions around the world. Breuer died on July 2nd, 1981, at the age of 79 (Marcel Breuer Associates 6).
Born in Haag, Austria, in 1900, Herbert Bayer grew up in the period of the fast changing environment and technologically revolutionary years. After serving in the Austrian Army, he started studying architecture under Professor Schmidthammer in Linz, but in 1921, he enrolled as a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he studied mural painting with Wassily Kandinsky. Bayer was later appointed by Walter Gropius to head the first printing and advertising workshop in Dessau. “Under Bayer’s charge, the newly installed workshop developed into a professional studio for graphic design and commercial art. The study of the communicative potential of letterforms and typographic layout was part of a basic curriculum in the mechanics of visual education. Such innovations as the elimination of capital letters, and the replacement of the archaic Gothic alphabet used in German printing by a modern “cosmopolitan” font, and the concept of composition based on strong geometrical elements and expressive values of colors, testify to a move away from individually handcrafted and traditionally shaped goods towards objects meeting functional requirements suitabl...

The Shang Dynasty invented and, over the years, perfected the technique of casting a bronze vessel from a clay mold assembly, which this wine vessel has also been made from using those techniques (Cantor). This mold was formed around a model of the vessel and was then cut into sections that were carved or impressed in the desired design, in this case the braided or grid design, on the inner or outer surfaces. The decorated clay piece-mold was then fired and reassembled around a clay core. Small bronze spacers were used to hold the piece-mold and the clay core apart. Then, molten bronze was poured into the mold. Using this piece-mold casting technique helped the bronze worker to achieve greater sharpness and definition in any intricate design
Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, the Bauhaus was a German art school that initiated the combination of art and crafts innovatively to produce goods for everyday use, which influenced and shaped modern life. The Bauhaus value is still effective today since we can still see the impact of the Bauhaus. For example, contemporary furniture are mostly minimalist, which is one of the values from the Bauhaus. This essay will discuss the failure of the Bauhaus in achieving its mass-produce ideal through examining three Bauhaus production, the Wassily Chair, the chess set and Model No. MT49 tea infuser. Through the aspects of artistry and utility, the Bauhaus pursued to generate reasonably priced mass-production by taking the forms and materials into
There are a handful of differences and similarities from an Ancient Greek drinking vessel and a Starbucks cup some people may not take into consideration. While comparing and contrasting a Starbucks coffee cup and Ancient Greek drinking vessels I will take careful notation into the differences and similarities of their form, function and decoration of the artifacts. I will go into careful detail of what the ancient Greeks used to create their drinking vessels. Also, I will elaborate the functions that the Ancient Greeks first had in mind and what uses they had during the different time periods. Another important aspect of the ancient Greek drinking vessels and Starbucks cup are the decorations and logos. This plays an important role in describing stories with historical significance.
Bauhaus is a German term meaning the house of construction and commonly understood by many as the school of building and operates from the year 1919 to the end of 1933 . The institution was founded by Walter Gropius and was located in Weimar. This paper shall critically analyze whether Bauhaus succeeded in merging art with mass production and technology what challenges they went through and if at all their ideals were limited to design for an elite.
During the 1800’s Great Britain’s empire stretched around the world, and with raw materials easily available to them this way, they inevitably began refining and manufacturing all stages of many new machines and other goods, distributing locally and globally. However, despite being the central ‘workshop of the world,’ Britain was not producing the highest quality of merchandise. When comparing factory-made products made in England to surrounding countries, most notably France, those products could not compare as far as craftsmanship and sometimes, simply innovation. It was suggested by Prince Albert that England host a sort of free-for-all technological exposition to bring in outside crafts into the country and also show their national pride.
The Bauhaus was one of the most influential modernist art schools of the 20th century, not to say the most influential one. Their main concern was to teach, and to understand art 's relationship to society and technology. The school was founded by the German Architect: Walter Gropius. Consequently, The Bauhaus of Design had a huge impact in Europe which is the central continent of art and the United States even after it has been closed, and has forever shape the development of Art history from now on. According to the art story website, the Bauhaus of Design was shaped by the 19th and early 20th centuries trends such as Arts and Crafts movement, which had sought to level the distinction between fine and applied arts, and to reunite creativity and manufacturing. Which later on has had affected some major artwork such as architecture and graphic design and as a result, had also inspire the romantic medievalism of the school 's early years, in which it pictured itself as a kind of medieval crafts guild. But in the mid-1920s the medievalism gave way to a stress on uniting art and industrial design, and it was this which ultimately proved to be its most original and important achievement (Art Story). The school is also known for its faculty, which included some of the most talented artists such as : Wassily
Three factors: "Deutscher Werkbund", "Russian Constructivism" and "De Stijl", influenced the concept of design about "Bauhaus". "Deutscher Werkbund" suggests functional design. It combines modern industry with opposite ornate decoration of buildings. Meanwhile, the building can be produced a lot. "Deutscher Werkbund" lays a basis for the "Bauhaus" design concept (Gong,
The Bauhaus was created upon Germany’s loss in World War 1 lead for a huge step up in arts. But the biggest inspiration for the Bauhaus was modernism. An art that had been around since the 1880s. Walter Gropius goal was to create a new bread of craftsmen. Gropius hired the top artists of the time to help him teach within the Bauhaus. In 1922 Gropius employed a Dutch
In 1919, something radical changed the way both design and craft was to be thought forevermore. The Bauhaus was a school of design, which was founded by a Werkbund member known as Walter Gropius. Gropius was thirty-six when he conceived the idea for the Bauhaus, after watching fellow Werkbund member, Henry Van de Velde, establish an arts and crafts school in Weimar, Germany. In 1919 Gropius became head of the arts and crafts school that Henry Van de Velde founded. Gropius proceeded to reorganize the school and then renamed it to be known as the Bauhaus.
Most famously recognized as a time of great technological innovation, the Industrial Revolution gave birth too two of the most transforming technologies, which came to spur the revolution on; cotton spinning and steam power. The two technologies are closely linked, the improved Steam Engine, invented by James Watt and patented in 1755, was originally used ...
Population increases in Britain in the 1700s led to an immediate need for innovation of the textile industry. In 1733, John Kay answered this need with one of the first inventions of the Industrial Revolution, the flying shuttle (Frader, 21). This idea of mechanizing of a handmade process in order to allow for automation and speed revolutionized how people thought about the making of objects. The making of mechanized processes quickly spread beyond the textile industry. Nearly every aspect of life was touched by the influence of the rise of machines and manufacturing. Industrialization shaped both life in the 18th century and still the way that the modern world works.
