A student at the Bauhaus between 1921 and 1925, Peter Keler was tutored by the likes of Wassily Kandinsky, Walter Gropius and the De Stijl pioneer Theo van Doesburg. Creating one of his most iconic designs, the Bauhaus Cradle, for the Bauhaus Exhibition of 1923, he is an undeniably central figure of the design institution. When the Bauhaus moved to Dessau in 1925, Keler chose to remain in Weimar and found his own studio.

Originally designed by Peter Keler in 1922 at the age of twenty, this vibrantly-hued small Bauhaus Cradle is crafted today by esteemed manufacturer Tecta and is exclusively available in the UK at The Conran Shop.

Expertly crafted in Germany from natural cane wickerwork and accented with a blue-lacquered tubular steel frame, the Bauhaus Cradle is finished in vibrant red, blue and yellow hues.

A true design classic, the colourful finish of the cradle was inspired by the work of Keler’s tutor at the Bauhaus, Wassily Kandinsky. Originally designed as part of an assignment set by Walter Gropius, the cradle is a true symbol of Bauhaus design.
