In the name of classic: the development of modern furniture
Nov 27, 2023
Designers and brands value a product that has been well thought out rather than whether it has blockbuster qualities. This shows that there is such a thing as timeless, timeless furniture, and that these classic elements can be combined to suit the design style in your home. The prototype of these furniture originated after the 19th century, and it has been continuously developed and improved.
Modernism:
Since the beginning of the 20th century, furniture style has gradually separated from classicism, lost those complicated decorative arts, and moved toward practicality and functionality, while conveying concepts through design style. The modernist movement was an extremely far-reaching and extensive design movement, which adopted rational and regular forms, combined with new technologies and materials, and was suitable for mass production. These requirements also became the necessary conditions for design to be considered at that time.
Nordic style:
Influenced by the modernist movement, Northern Europe gradually developed into a unique "Nordic style", which is the representative of functionalism and has a profound impact on the later "minimalism" and "minimalism". The Scandinavian countries have formed their own unique style, and the curved furniture is light and flexible, which improves the comfort of office furniture.
Neo-modernism:
At the same time, pop style, also known as pop style, was popular, which represented the expressionist tendency of industrial design in the 1960s to pursue formal alienation and entertainment. Italian pop design reflects the characteristics of soft sculpture, the design of furniture is ambiguous in shape, and through visual association with other objects to emphasize its non-functionality, such as the design of a chair in the shape of lips, or made into a large glove style. The change of the so-called modern sense is actually manifested as the change of aesthetic concepts, but in the final analysis, it is still influenced by material conditions - such as the emergence of new materials and new technologies. Steel pipes, plastics and new textile fabrics are widely used in design products, and bending wood technology and plywood technology have also had a great impact. Today, with the highly developed material civilization, there are gradually some designs dominated by consciousness, less objective material factors restricting design, and people's aesthetic acceptance ability has become open, and design has become more and more diversified.
