Exactly 100 years ago – in 1923 – the first Bauhaus exhibition in Weimar set a milestone in art and cultural history, whose design legacy continues to resonate today. To mark the anniversary, Airbnb presents a curated selection of Bauhaus-inspired accommodations.
The selection of design accommodations is based primarily on the stylistic characteristics typical of the design school: purist architecture, characterized by strict geometric shapes in which form follows purpose. Designed for a new, modern form of living together, whose specific structural implementation – in seemingly wise anticipation – seems tailor-made for the current steadily growing sharing economy. Airbnb hosts around the world invite travelers to experience this modern architecture, which is deeply rooted in our everyday lives, in an authentic way.
