Leuchtturm1917 Notebook Bauhaus Edition

The Iconic Design of the Bauhaus

The Bauhaus movement, founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, ushered in a new era of design, where form follows function and aesthetics blend seamlessly with practicality. The limited edition Bauhaus Leuchtturm mechanical pencil perfectly embodies these principles. The Drehgriffel Nr. 2 features clean lines, balanced proportions, and meticulous attention to detail, all serving a functional purpose. The pencil’s body is crafted from aluminum and brass, materials that provide robustness and durability, while its design remains simple and free from superfluous ornamentation, staying true to Bauhaus style.

The Leuchtturm Collection Dedicated to the Bauhaus: Everything Starts from a Dot

Wassily Kandinsky, a painter and teacher at the Bauhaus school, succinctly captured the essence of creation with his statement: "Everything starts from a dot." This quote emphasizes how, for creative minds, the process of transferring ideas to paper begins with a single point on the page—a crucial moment where thoughts first connect with the physical world.

Clean, minimalist forms, functional details, and classic colors are fundamental characteristics of the most influential design school of the modern era. These are also the guiding principles behind the design of LEUCHTTURM1917 products.

As a tribute to the revolutionary Bauhaus style, Leuchtturm has created a special edition that includes a Bullet Journal, a Pen Loop, and a Drehgriffel, each with a form, color, and details that honor the innovative spirit of the Bauhaus.

A Tribute to Bauhaus: The Design and Aesthetic of the Bullet Journal Notebook

The design of the Bauhaus Leuchtturm notebook is inspired by the core principles of the Bauhaus: simplicity, functionality, and beauty. The notebook's hardcover is available in iconic color combinations with matching paper edges, such as lemon yellow and black, black and royal blue, royal blue and red, and red and royal blue, reflecting the Bauhaus color palette. Each combination is carefully designed to evoke the minimalist and modern aesthetic that characterizes this design movement. The front cover features an embossed quote from Wassily Kandinsky, one of the Bauhaus’ leading figures: “Everything starts from a dot.” This adage underscores the importance of the first mark on the page, the starting point for every creation.

Wassily Kandinsky’s Quote: An Encouragement to Creativity

Wassily Kandinsky’s quote, “Everything starts from a dot,” embossed on the cover, is not just decorative but a daily inspiration. Kandinsky, a painter and teacher at the Bauhaus school, believed that every creation begins with a single point, the first step in a creative process. This philosophy underlies the design of the Bauhaus Leuchtturm notebook, which is meant to be a space where ideas can take shape, grow, and develop, flowing freely across its 251 available pages.
