Bauhaus Dessau telephone

About This Phone

Black bakelite, nickel-plated brass, part painted black, dial face enamelled white, dark green button. The "Bauhaus Desau" phone was an evolution of the Fuld design, refined for mass production and aesthetic purity. In 1929, the Fuld design was refined further for the Bauhaus school in Dessau. This version, often attributed to the collaboration between the Fuld company and Bauhaus designers, became the definitive "Bauhaus Telephone."
