The Spirit of Bauhaus

As seen in the Winnings Design & Culinary Guide Issue 08

Gaggenau reimagines a celebrated design ethic in two distinctive ways.

When the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, it sought to erase the line between art and utility. "Form follows function" became its enduring mantra, influencing architecture, furniture and industrial design globally. Every element served a clear purpose.

More than a century later, Gaggenau channels this spirit with its new Expressive and Minimalistic series — two distinct interpretations of the Bauhaus ideal, crafted for those who value sculptural elegance without compromising on performance.



Gaggenau Expressive series


Just as Bauhaus bridged craftsmanship and mass production, Gaggenau blends artisan metalwork with advanced technology, creating tools that feel both engineered and sculptural.

The Expressive Series: Bold Design Statements

The Expressive series embodies boldness. These are appliances that deliberately set themselves apart from cabinetry, standing like gallery pieces. Symmetrically framed in stainless steel and smoked glass, the series unites aesthetics with professional-grade functionality, emphasising minimal use of materials to embody a clean, refined look. The floating control ring — delicately suspended on the glass door — exemplifies Gaggenau's mastery of metal craftsmanship, serving both as a tactile interface and a design flourish.

The Minimalistic Series: Seamless Integration

By contrast, the Minimalistic series is all about seamless integration. Handleless, linear and flush, these appliances almost disappear into their surroundings until they're needed. Available in either the silver hue of Gaggenau Sterling or the darkness of Gaggenau Onyx, the flush-fitted appliances also feature the distinctive floating control ring.

Together, the two series demonstrate a spectrum: one celebrates appliances as design objects, the other allows architecture to take centre stage.

In Gaggenau's hands, Bauhaus is not simply revisited but reinterpreted for the 21st-century kitchen: expressive yet minimal, professional yet poetic.
