The Bauhaus is a German artistic movement that lasted from 1919-1933. Its goal was to merge all artistic mediums into one unified approach. It combined an individual's artistry with mass production and function. 

Bauhaus design is often abstract, angular, and geometric, with little ornamentation. Bauhaus artists favored linear and geometrical forms, rather than floral or curvilinear shapes. There was a great interest in technology and Bauhaus workshops were used for developing prototypes of products for mass production. The artists embraced the new possibilities of modern technologies.
