My inspiration for this collection was the Bauhaus School of Design, founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 in Weimar, Germany. It was the beginning of the international modernist movement. Bauhaus influenced famous architects, designers and artists such as Mies Van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen, Isamu Noguchi, Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian.

Our Antique Drapery Rod Co aluminum rods are custom milled for us from PCW (post consumer waste) upcycled aluminum. A sleek modern example of “upcycling.” When a product is recycled into a more expensive product, increasing the recycled materials value. The use of this commercial grade material for simplistic hardware is in keeping with the philosophy of the Bauhaus modernist movement
