The earlier Art Nouveau designs clearly had overburdened by ornamental decorative designs (plate 5A & 5C). The clarity, simplicity and structural quality remained hidden inside the form. On the other hand Bauhaus attempted to discover new expression of aesthetics that emerged out of simplicity and clarity in form and structural elements (plate 5B & 5D). A unique synthesis of decorative craft with minimalist artistic approach revolutionized the appearance of modern design. Naturally the new approach simplified the manufacturing process, cost of material and maintenance.
