Classic pieces never age

Salt and pepper shakers by Wilhelm Wagenfeld

Good things come in pairs

Twins was the name of the first salt and pepper shakers by industrial designer Wilhelm Wagenfeld. Virtually every German household in the 1960s had a pair and they are now being reissued in the original 1954 design. There is also a functional purpose behind the harmonious form and symmetry. During use, the condiments are loosened, thus preventing any clumping. The smaller pots in the set with the “little boat” were known as Max & Moritz and have retained their popularity to this day.

By breaking down the barriers between crafts, technology, art, and industry, the Bauhaus overcame the principle of art for art’s sake.

Form follows function

Wilhelm Wagenfeld took the Bauhaus concept of “Form follows function” very seriously.

Products should not only be beautiful, but also practical and functional.

He usually drafted a number of different designs which he handed over to apprentices who would test whether they fulfilled their intended function.

For Wagenfeld, the aesthetic was never an end in itself. The core concern was always the usability of objects and their benefits for the purchaser.

Being useful also means being beautiful because everything that is used must also have the potential for beauty; if not, objects do not fulfill their intended purpose.
