However, I also believe that the Bauhaus way of using flat designs with interesting shapes and motion will be an interesting path forward

Whatever you think of Art Deco - and personally I loathe it, but that's incidental - IMO it would be a tragic failure of imagination to try to reincarnate a design style that's already a century old. Likewise for Bauhaus design - also a century old. There are hints of a new generative aesthetic - busy in an unhierarchical repeated-elements kind of way, with organic influences - but that's better suited to architecture and sculpture than commercial design. There probably won't be a completely original design language until AR/VR become ubiquitous - which will take a while.

  In a lot of ways, material design is Bauhaus.

I don't have any experience in art history or design, but judging by the photos in your article, you seem to be conjecturing that in 5-10 years, everything is going to look like a Wes Anderson film. :)
