Design Drawings for Haus am Horn's childrens' room

562

The Haus am Horn, located in Weimar, Germany, was an exhibition displaying the first building produced using Bauhaus principles, each room designed by a different student. Alma Siedhoff-Buscher, a female Bauhaus product designer, created the children's room, essentially growing with the child, a puppet theatre could thus transform into bookshelves, a changing table into a desk. The concept was innovative and is one of her most well-known designs. Siedhoff-Buscher began her time in the Bauhaus in the weaving workshop, a generally ‘female-friendly’ medium. Although the Bauhaus claimed that they were open to 'any person of good repute, regardless of age or sex,' women were often sectioned off into certain concentrations. Siedhoff-Buscher was one of a few women of the Bauhaus to leave weaving behind and join the male-dominated sculpture department. She began producing children's toys and furniture, creating a monumental impact on the world of children and design.
