Media company Highsnobiety and organisation Bauhaus-Archiv have collaborated on a collection that includes homeware, a clothing line, and an embossed Marcel Breuer D4 chair.
The collaboration celebrates the "shared German heritage" of Highsnobiety and Bauhaus-Archiv, as both are based in Berlin, where the latter oversees a museum and archive containing "the world's largest Bauhaus collection".
It is the second collaboration between the two and contains branded clothing, as well as homeware ranging from a coffee kettle to a D4 chair and ottoman originally designed by German designer Marcel Breuer and reissued by German manufacturer Tecta.
"The Highsnobiety x Bauhaus-Archiv capsule collection pays homage to the Bauhaus legacy through a thoughtful selection of apparel, daily living objects, and homeware," said the team.
"Together, Highsnobiety and Bauhaus-Archiv are celebrating not only the movement's enduring impact on design but also their shared German heritage."
A seminal creation by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, the D4 chair was created in the 1920s and is characterized by its steel frame and black belt backrest, armrest and seat.
For the Highsnobiety x Bauhaus-Archiv collection, the piece was embossed with the words Neue Baukunst (New Building), which refers to a label given to the modern architecture of the 1920s, across the front of its backrest and leather straps and buckles close the back.
The chair, as well as an accompanying stool, was made using vegetable-tanned cow leather and a nickeled steel frame.
A rounded side table is also part of the collection, which features the same steel frame as the chair.
Homeware pieces in the collection include a black Fellow coffee grinder, kettle, and water bottle, all of which feature the collaboration's Highsnobiety x Bauhaus-Archiv branding.
Clothing and accessories are also part of the limited release and include items such as a knit sweater with an image of the D4 printed chair across its front, a sweatshirt, a varsity jacket and t-shirts with various branding, and a large black tote.
According to the team, the collection's imagery was captured at the Tautes Heim in Berlin, a small home and museum designed by architect Bruno Taut, which emphasises "the collection's commitment to authentic aesthetics of the 1920s".
Recently, an exhibit that featured Lucia Moholy's photographs of the Bauhaus movement took place in Prague and furniture brand Knoll released new colours of its Bauhaus-era designs.
