The third issue of bauhaus magazine is dedicated to things. "A thing is defined by its essence," wrote the Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius in 1925. The current issue itself has committed to exploring the essence of objects. Parallel to our large retrospective of the designer of the century, Marcel Breuer, for this issue we have sought out objects that may appear trite, but which permit the analysis of utopia and emancipatory effect, of fetish and consumer behaviour – from teaspoon to cactus, from price tag to mirror, from casing to timetable. This issue endeavours to discover how the Bauhaus has changed the way we deal with things and what the debate about the object per se, has developed into today.
