We stopped by the new bauhaus museum today, a real treasure trove for minimalist esigners.

are just right.

We immediately recognized most of the dishes and furniture as familiar to Ezi’s parents, but not typical of Palestine interior design of the 20′s and 30′s.  What most people wanted was an imitation of the cultured Europe they left, not some revolutionary modern extension of Morris socialism.  The exterior of the buildings was functional and practical but inside was a private world.
