ROWAC

Bauhaus Dessau, 1928: Bauhaus students on their lunch break, sitting on Rowac stools. 100 years later, this photograph is an art print.

The ROWAC Bauhaus Dessau 100 Art Print shows a historical photograph from 1928: Bauhaus students taking a break in the preliminary course room of the Bauhaus building in Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius – with Rowac stools clearly in the frame. To mark the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus Dessau, ROWAC has printed this image in large format on 175 g/m² Metapaper Extrarough 2.0 Warm White using professional HP Indigo printing technology. Available unframed or framed in solid oak with real glass. The gift for everyone who genuinely understands design history.

Historical Photo 1928 · Bauhaus Dessau 100 Years · 50 × 60 cm · HP Indigo · Metapaper 175 g/m² · Unframed or Solid Oak Frame · ROWAC est. 1888

This photograph was taken in 1928 in the preliminary course room of the Bauhaus building in Dessau – the building Walter Gropius designed as the manifesto of modernism. Bauhaus students sit together on a break. In the frame: Rowac stools. ROWAC, founded in 1888 by Karl Robert Wagner in Chemnitz, was selected to furnish the workshops and classrooms of the Bauhaus in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin. The photograph does not show a staged scene; it is a document of everyday life in one of the most significant design institutions of the 20th century – with ROWAC part of the picture.

This art print is not licensed motif merchandise: it is a piece of ROWAC's own history. Whoever gives it or hangs it is not putting Bauhaus nostalgia on the wall, but a document of the fact that design and function have always belonged together. Printed with HP Indigo technology on Metapaper Extrarough 2.0 Warm White – the rough, warm paper texture amplifies the historical character of the photograph in a way no smooth gloss paper ever could.

What exactly does the photograph show – and when was it taken?

The photograph was taken in 1928 in the preliminary course room of the Bauhaus building in Dessau – the modernist landmark Walter Gropius conceived and that opened in 1926. Bauhaus students are seen taking a break, seated on Rowac stools that were part of the building's regular furnishings. This makes the print a historical document of double significance: Bauhaus history and ROWAC history captured in a single frame.

What is HP Indigo printing – and why does the technology matter?

HP Indigo is a professional digital printing technology that delivers offset-quality colour accuracy and sharp detail reproduction – previously used almost exclusively in agency and premium packaging printing. Compared with standard inkjet output, HP Indigo produces more precise colour gradients, finer highlight detail and better long-term stability. Combined with the Metapaper Extrarough 2.0 Warm White (175 g/m²), the result is a print quality that is not standard in this price range.

Framed or unframed – which is the better choice?

The unframed print arrives rolled in tissue paper and is ideal for those with their own framing preference or who want to match the frame precisely to their space. The framed version comes in solid oak with real glass, professionally mounted and ready to hang from the first moment. For a gift, the framed version is the more considered choice: it is complete as soon as it is unwrapped.

What is ROWAC's connection to the Bauhaus?

ROWAC was founded in 1888 by Karl Robert Wagner in Chemnitz. The Rowac stool – the world's first riveted seat made from lightweight strip steel – was selected for the workshops and classrooms of the Bauhaus in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin. ROWAC was part of the Bauhaus's daily life long before the Bauhaus became a design icon. The art print commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus Dessau and simultaneously marks the return of the Rowac stool – the brand has been relaunched since 2020.

For whom is this art print the right gift?

For architects, interior designers and design enthusiasts who know the Bauhaus not just as a visual style but as a way of thinking. For anyone who would rather hang good art with a story behind it than without. Particularly fitting for birthdays, housewarmings, graduation gifts or anyone who seems to have everything – except this image.
