Considered to be one of the most important representatives of Constructivism in Germany, 'Dexel strove to apply his new Constructivist vocabulary of forms to all areas of life in the spirit of the Bauhaus. He not only realized art in architecture projects, but he also created advertising lights, signs, and various typographical works and he designed stage sets in which he took an architectural approach'.
