| Object history | Walter Gropius was one of the most influential architects and designers of the modern movement. Born in Germany, he came to Britain as an émigré in 1934, and moved to the USA in 1937. His tea set has an elegant profile, yet contains many functionalist elements. The design remains in production. |
