The Plate 184 Rug, designed by pioneering Bauhaus weaver Gunta Stölzl, exemplifies the modernist aesthetic of the 1920s through its bold geometric composition. This striking textile piece features a dynamic arrangement of rectangular forms in a harmonious color palette typical of Stölzl’s work.
The rug showcases her masterful understanding of color theory and textile design, with carefully balanced blocks of color creating visual rhythm and movement across the surface. The design demonstrates the Bauhaus principle of combining artistic vision with functional craftsmanship, resulting in a piece that is both decorative and practical.
Stölzl’s innovative approach to weaving is evident in the precise execution of the geometric patterns, which create a sense of depth and dimension through their thoughtful arrangement. The rug’s composition reflects the industrial influence of the Bauhaus movement while maintaining a sense of artistic expression through its sophisticated use of color and form.
