Consisting of a blue circle, a yellow triangle and a red square, it makes tangible the influence exerted by the synaesthetic color theory of teacher Wassily Kandinsky on Peter Keler. At the same time, it embodied the idea of floating, rocking and rolling object that became a symbol of the Bauhaus®

This collector's item is an Original Bauhaus® miniature replica of the historic cradle designed by Peter Keler in 1922 during his apprenticeship at the Bauhaus school. The Bauhaus® miniature cradle is congruent to the original in color, shape and proportions at a of scale 1:7, and to a large extent, is carefully hand crafted.

The original cradle of that time can be seen in the Schloss-Museum Weimar, when it isn't on tour in worldwide exhibitions. Only since the late 1970s has the cradle been produced by the Tecta Company.

Today the cradle is considered an icon. Peter Keler himself described it as a work that "became the symbol of the Bauhaus".

The Bauhaus® Movement (1919 - 1933) was important beyond the short time of its existence, both on account of the educational methods of art that it developed and its influence on the styling of architecture, design, and painting. Architects like Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Hannes Meyer, Ludwig Hilberseimer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and painters/artists like Josef Albers, Johannes Itten, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche and Oskar Schlemmer belonged to the teaching staff of the Bauhaus. The integration of art into life and the merging of the artist into the industrialized society were their common goal.
