A rich, wide-ranging meditation on the iPhone as direct descendant of the 1930s Bauhaus, one of the twentieth century's most influential schools of art and design (summed up in Mies van der Rohe's dictum, "less is more") whose principle aim was to connect art and industry. From one of the leading authorities on the Bauhaus and modernism. Nicholas Fox Weber, in this deft, entertaining, and brilliant rumination on art and technology, writes of the iPhone as the essence of the Bauhaus principles of form following function--of honesty of design and materials that reflect the true nature of objects and buildings, favoring linear and geometrical forms; adhering to line, shape, and colors; synthesizing art to modern times; the fusion in design of art and technology.Weber, an authority and celebrant of twentieth-century modernism, ranging from the paintings of Balthus to the architecture of Le Corbusier, was a close associate of Anni and Josef Albers, the last living giants of the Bauhaus, and absorbed firsthand its truest beliefs. The Alberses emphasized their passion for "good design over bad art." Anni, a groundbreaking textile artist and printmaker, and Josef, a painter and color theorist and influential art teacher, stuck to "what was taught at the Bauhaus: the right use of materials, good technique, a purpose that serves all." Weber writes that the Bauhaus was not a style but an attitude: clear design and visual acuity as the embodiment of morality and honesty. And in iBauhaus, Weber explores how the iPhone, with its effective design and its versatility, honors these deepest beliefs, as well as the values that the Bauhaus sought to give to the world.

Not the same bag
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
The item I received appears to be a smaller version of the bag without the small wallet that should be included. Do not buy it, and save yourself the trouble of having to return it.

Very Essential Pants!
Size: 0, Color: Mauve, Size: 0, Color: Mauve
I saw the mauve pants while browsing at a bargain price. I when I tried them on, I didn’t want to take them off. They looked great, fit perfectly and were so comfortable that I felt like I was wearing PJs. I ordered them in size 0. I am just shy of 5’ and thin, so finding casual but dressy slacks that fit is difficult. The material is soft and a perfect thickness to wear all year, not too heavy but provides enough warmth for cooler days. Being cotton with a tad of stretch keeps them from wrinkling a lot and looking fresh. In fact I loved them so much that I went back and bought every color available. Nice to not wear jeans dominate my choices. I took a picture showing all the colors which I bought. Oh, I love the style with the simple zipper in the front and welting on the legs. Also a feature is the fact that the waist hits my real waist and makes me look taller.
Kudos on these VERY Essential pants.

Great buy!
Size: 4, Color: Ivory
Love these pants. They are multifaceted when it comes to being part of a casual look or dressier look! The fit is great and so far the zipper holds, it does not slide down throughout the day. They also wash and dry well! I purchased as many of them as I could before they showed out of stock! When you find something good, better stock up!

The perfect casual work pants!
Size: 16, Color: Camel
I love these pants! I used the size chart to order per my measurements and it worked out perfectly. I am 5’5” 180lbs and ordered size 16 in Camel. These are more on the casual side, but with the right styling they could be dressed up. They are soft with a brushed cotton feel. They have just enough stretch to add to comfort, but not so stretchy that they lose their shape or don’t retain initial structure. I wore them for a full work day the required a lot of walking, bending, and squatting.
They are just a couple inches longer on me than I’d like, but most cropped/ankle style pants are. I didn’t notice prior to ordering they don’t have a button. No worries - the zipper stays up and makes for a flattering and different look. I plan to order again in a couple different colors. I’m shocked at how good the quality considering I only paid $14 for them.
