Product description

Peter Keler's cradle design dates back to the beginnings of the Bauhaus, in 1922. Consisting of a blue circle, a yellow triangle and a red rectangle, the work shows the influence that teacher Wassily Kandinsky's synesthetic color theory had on Peter Keler. At the same time, it embodied the first idea of a floating, swinging and rolling object that became a symbol of Bauhaus. It was originally part of a furniture competition based on Walter Gropius's design for a bed for a man, a woman and an infant. The man's bed had a rectangular head and foot section, the woman's bed drew a soft semicircle. The baby's cradle completed two geometric shapes with a triangle.
Axel Bruchhäuser first encountered Peter Keler and his cradle in 1975, when he asked for permission to produce a cradle. Together with Peter Keler, Tecta produced a re-edition of the famous Bauhaus cradle, based on an idea by Wassily Kandinsky, faithful to the original, but in an industrial style.
Today, the cradle is considered an icon. Peter Keler himself described it as a work that "became a symbol of Bauhaus". Keler, who studied painting, color and woodwork at the Weimar Bauhaus, uses it to refer to the formal language and guiding principle of the Bauhaus: the revival of arts and crafts and the blurring of the distinction between artist and craftsman. The Bauhaus Archive in Berlin only approves original and licensed reissues of original Bauhaus models. They are marked with the signet ring of Oskar Schlemmer, which he designed for the State Bauhaus in Weimar in 1922. Even today, Bauhaus Tecta models are based exactly on the proportions of the originals.
