leBauhaus
From tapestry to silk scarf
Gunta Stölzl was the first and only female master at the Bauhaus school of design. In a groundbreaking innovation, she wove metal threads, raffia, paper and cellophane with wool, manipulating the looms with the help of her students to design completely new types of textiles. Her weaving class attracted attention far beyond the country's borders.
In 1923, Stölzl created one of her most colourful and graphic designs. Strictly arranged surfaces and lines alternate with bright colours to create a magnificent overall effect. The design was originally intended for a carpet.
Inspired from this early work, leFoulard collaborated closely with the Gunta Stölzl Foundation to create a new interpretation of "leBauhaus" in the form of a scarf. Each of the ten colours was printed on silk twill using a separate screen-printing screen.
