Beautiful Bauhaus
Most people attribute Germany’s Bauhaus
school, founded by Walter Gropius,with being
all about minimalist design, paring down
architecture to its most non-essential elements
whilst being beautiful at the same time.
What is overlooked is the fantastical costume
parties of the 1920s. Not only were they good
at designing furniture and everything else in
between, their costumes were just as sculptural
and flamboyant. The Bauhaus shindigs were
outright competitive. Imagine dancing around
in one of these with Wassily Kandinsky,
Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy,
Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer.

The parties began as improvisational events,
but later grew into large-scale productions
with costumes and sets made by the school’s
stage workshop. There was often a theme to
the evenings. One party was called Beard, Nose,
and Heart, and attendees were instructed t
show up in clothing that was two-thirds white,
and one-third spotted, checked or striped.
However, it’s generally agreed that the
apotheosis of the Bauhaus’ costumed revelry
was the Metal Party of 1929, where guests
donned costumes made from tin foil, frying
pans, and spoons. Attendees entered that
party by sliding down a chute into one of
several rooms filled with silver balls.

Beautiful Treehouses
If I could choose my dream home it would be
a treehouse and any one of these would suit me
just fine. Love the childlike appeal.
Bower House Construction takes a sophisticated,
nature first approach to his custom treehouses.

who wanted to do more work with his hands,
Bower House Construction designs and builds
custom treehouses in Bruton, a rural town

Beautiful Graphic Design
I just stumbled upon a wonderful
graphic designer Txaber of Bilbao.
His work will appeal to the minimalists
among us. The vibrant colors, clever
use of type and conceptual thinking
deserves admiration.
