Bauhaus Stage
バウハウスの舞台 / 1921–1929 / Style / Stage Design
Why it is closeName matchText match
Schlemmer's stage workshop turned the body into geometry. Spheres and cones in the Triadic Ballet costumes set the human figure dancing as a form in space, and performance art traces its origin to them.
Geometrized bodies / Costumes of spheres and cones / Three acts by color / Choreography as spatial figure

Modernism
モダニズム / 1920s–1970s / Style / Functionalism
Why it is closeText match
Replaces ornament with reasoned form and aims at universality. The particular answers stand as their own entries, and Bauhaus, Swiss, Minimalism and Streamline Moderne are all separate solutions arrived at from this one stance.
Simplification / Clear hierarchy / Function first / Universal forms

ウルム造形大学 / 1953–1968 / Style / Postwar Industrial Design
Why it is closeText match
Founded by Max Bill as the Bauhaus's successor, the school redefined design as science, method and system. Its collaboration with Braun made the functionalist face a world standard.
Method and system / Grids and modules / Ornament excluded / Design as science

Factory Pomo
ファクトリー・ポモ / late 1980s–early 1990s / Style / Industrial and Spatial Design
Why it is closeText match
A brief late-1980s and early-1990s postmodern style that reassembled factory safety graphics, WPA, Constructivism, and Bauhaus through smooth CAD geometry and Memphis quotation. Industrial signs become bright information-age stage sets rather than preserved relics.
Gears, bolts, beams, and arrows reduced to geometry / Black and safety yellow expanded with red, blue, and turquoise / CAD-perfect circles and diagonals over old factory lettering / Exposed structure converted into decorative repetition

Millennium Disco
ミレニアム・ディスコ / late 1990s–early 2000s / Style / Music Graphics
Why it is closeText match
A turn-of-the-millennium Gen-X revival that recasts 1970s disco through Bauhaus-derived type, silver technical materials, and smooth photography. Whiter and more metallic than Disco Deco, it presents the dancing body like a new digital product.
White, silver, and black with one acid green or orange accent / Bauhaus-like circles, concentric lines, and horizontal bars / Clean reflections on chrome, translucent resin, and metallic cloth / Dancing bodies shot with wide flash and long trails
Editorial policy
IndexStyle is not a list of every term used around design. An independent entry must describe a visual language that can be recognised, reproduced and distinguished from its neighbours. Editorial standard
- Reference images are always real works: photographs and scans held by museums, libraries and archives, or official documents. We never make or retouch them.
- Where no lawful, legible or sufficiently representative reference image can be displayed, the entry may add one or more AI-generated interpretations. They are always labelled as such and never enter the reference gallery, share image or source evidence. Existing real-work references remain evidence. 151 of 776 entries currently show at least one.
- Every entry names the source it was recorded from and links to it, and every source URL is checked when the entry is added and again in later sweeps.
- Styles, techniques and internet aesthetics are classified, never conflated.
- Related entries stay traceable in both directions.
- For image rights, see About citations and reference images.
