Overview

A dynamic design playground.

Bauhaus Grid is a browser tool for composing posters in the tradition of the Bauhaus school — geometric abstraction, primary color, the grid as a structural device. Every output is reproducible from a seed, a palette, a shape-weight mix, and two probability sliders.

Click any tile to edit its shape, colors, rotation, or to lock it in place before the next shuffle.

FAQ

Common questions

Are the palettes based on actual Bauhaus colors?+

Partly. Weimar Classic is the school-era red, yellow, blue, cream, and black. Dessau Architecture is a more muted concrete-and-amber palette. The rest are modern interpretations, and you can create a custom 2-8 color palette in the Palette tab.

Can I export at print resolution?+

Yes. PNG and JPG exports offer three resolution tiers — 1K, 2K, and 4K long edge. SVG export is resolution-independent and prints cleanly at any size.
