How Much is a Round Outdoor Rug?
A Close Look at Modern Furniture
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.
- Are outdoor rugs a good idea?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Like indoor rugs, outdoor rugs can help add color and texture and help redefine an area outdoors. Because outdoor rugs are more durable and affordable than ever, they're often a great addition and putting them in an area that is protected from precipitation will extend how long they last.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The best outdoor rugs are usually made with a synthetic material owing to durability and affordability. Polypropylene seems to be the best material for outdoor rugs as it is easy to clean, does not fade, and is resistant to stain, mildew and mold. Find a wide collection of antique and vintage outdoor rugs in various designs and colors on 1stDibs today.
