The theoretical principle of Bauhaus is called functionalism design theory: the theory of "function first, form second" by Gropius, the first president of Bauhaus, laid the keynote of Bauhaus functionalism; Mies van der Rohe put forward the principle that "less is more"; Meyer abandoned all formalistic methods based on aesthetic feeling and replaced them with laws directly generated from the purposeful relationship between the function and structure of products.

Bauhaus's functionalist design theory advocates that the aesthetic characteristics of products should be expressed in the form of technology, so that the practicality, economy and aesthetics of products can be harmonious and unified, and the purpose of product use can be achieved best.
