Linking the industrial design from the Bauhaus to current perspectives

The Bauhaus is considered one of the most influential schools of modern time when it comes to industrial design. However, the current scenario is different from the one the Bauhaus found itself, and industrial design practice has evolved during the last century. This article will compare both approaches based on key features of design, such as context, involved stakeholders and innovation, to find similarities and differences. This comparison based on current understandings will give an overview of the industrial design from the Bauhaus and its relatedness and possible influence on current practice.
