Since 1974, newly reissued Bauhaus designs have been awarded the “Original Bauhaus Model” label. Selected partners use the “Original Bauhaus Model” label for some of their products:

• Alessi makes several metal objects for the table and kitchen, as well as Marianne Brandt’s silverware service.
• Bauhaus chess pieces, the Bauhaus building game, and the optical color mixer are produced by Naef.
• At tecta in Lauenförde, furniture made of steel and wood by Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, and Peter Keler is produced.
• The Gebr. Rasch wallpaper factory makes wallpaper based on a design by Walter Gropius.

Some Bauhaus designs are made by hand just like the original, such as Marianne Brandt’s silver teapot, which is still produced today in a silversmith’s workshop. Other objects are made using modern manufacturing methods, including the Bauhaus Ashtray 1926. 

Designed at a time when Bauhaus students were exploring forms for industrial production, the prototype was originally made by hand on a spinning lathe. Today, the ashtray is industrially manufactured using a deep-drawing process.
