Plate 111 Rug by Guna Stölzl

The Plate 111 Rug by Gunta Stölzl is a significant piece of Bauhaus textile design from 1926.  The rug features a modernist, geometric composition characteristic of Bauhaus design principles. It displays a balanced arrangement of rectangular and linear forms in a carefully considered color palette. The design shows Stölzl's masterful understanding of color theory and abstract composition, with blocks of colors creating a rhythmic, architectural feel.

This piece is particularly significant as Gunta Stölzl was a master of the Bauhaus weaving workshop and played a crucial role in developing the textile department. Her work exemplifies the Bauhaus philosophy of combining artistic vision with functional craftsmanship. The rug demonstrates how Bauhaus designers like Stölzl transformed traditional craft techniques into modern design expressions, creating pieces that were both functional and artistically significant. The design continues to influence contemporary textile and interior design.

This particular design was created during Stölzl's time at the Bauhaus school in Dessau, when the institution was at its creative peak.
