Ga Ga or Gag: Peter Keler Bauhaus Cradle

January 23, 2008

This funky cradle, designed by famous German artist Peter Keler in 1922, is surprisingly modern for such an aged piece of furniture. Still being manufactured, this cradle sells for an eye–popping $3,150! The artist's works are shown in the Bauhaus Museum and Weimar Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.

While the bassinet is unique, I'm not sure I'd pay a dime for it. It doesn't seem like it would be safe for even one second!

What do you think of the interesting creation?

The piece at the bottom of the triangle is weighted it doesn't ever rock very far from center. The designers at the bauhaus weren't stupid.

Beautifully designed from a the perspective of a Bauhaus admirer. He took Wassily Kandinsky's ▲■● equation and turned it into a piece of furniture. That being said, looks uncomfortable and unsafe, pretty shocking cradle really when you think about it.
