When did the design movement start?

The design movement, often referred to as the modern design movement, began in the late 19th century, around the 1880s, as a response to the industrial revolution and the decorative arts. It gained significant momentum with the establishment of the Bauhaus in 1919, which emphasized functionality and simplicity in design. This movement laid the groundwork for various design disciplines, including architecture, graphic design, and product design, influencing styles well into the 20th century.
