Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Nr. 1 ballpoint pen Bauhaus Edition

The Bauhaus Design

Bauhaus is one of the most influential movements in the history of design and architecture. Founded by Walter Gropius in Germany in 1919, Bauhaus introduced a new way of thinking about design, where functionality and aesthetics are closely intertwined. This approach led to everyday objects that are both beautiful and functional. The Bauhaus Leuchtturm ballpoint pen embodies these principles, offering a design that is both elegant and practical.

The Leuchtturm Collection Dedicated to Bauhaus: It All Starts with a Dot

Wassily Kandinsky, a painter and teacher at the Bauhaus school, summed it up simply when he said, "Everything starts with a dot." This quote highlights how, for creative minds, the process of transferring ideas onto paper begins with a dot on the page. It’s the first contact between thoughts and paper – a crucial moment.

Clean and minimalist shapes, functional details, and classic colors are fundamental characteristics of the most influential design school of the modern era – and these are also the principles that have always guided the design of LEUCHTTURM1917 products.

As a tribute to the revolutionary style of Bauhaus, it was created a special edition collection that includes a bullet journal, a Pen Loop, and a Drehgriffel, whose form, color, and details honor the innovative spirit of Bauhaus.

The Design of the Drehgriffel Nr. 1
