His nexr step was to enter the metalwork laboratory of the Bauhaus, run by Moholy-Nagy. First a student in 1923, Wagenfeld became an assistant in 1926 and a teacher in 1929. In the ensuing years he began working in industry. After the war, he moved to Berlin where he taught industrial design. He also produced his own finished designs in metal.
