Modern Centerpieces
MODERN STYLE
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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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.

1990s Pop Art Andy Warhol Self Portrait Square Glass Tray by Rosenthal
By Rosenthal, Andy Warhol
Located in Aci Castello, IT
This Self portrait Curved Glass Tray, designed by the iconic artist Andy Warhol, epitomizes the spirit of the era's vibrant and bold artistic movement. Blending Warhol's distinctive style with functional design, this glass tray serves as both a practical accessory and a captivating piece of contemporary art.
Measuring a generous square, the tray boasts clean lines and a sleek profile that characterizes the 1990s aesthetic. The glass surface provides a pristine canvas for Warhol's signature imagery, capturing his own self-portrait with a sense of audaciousness and wit that defined his work. Rendered in a black and green Pop Art-inspired color palette, the self-portrait is transformed into a captivating visual spectacle, with vibrant hues that demand attention.
The tray's glass construction imbues the piece with a sense of translucence and depth, allowing Warhol's self-portrait to shimmer and come to life when viewed from different angles. Warhol's self-portrait is masterfully executed, with his distinctive hairstyle, sunglasses, and enigmatic gaze captured in his characteristic style. This collaboration between Andy Warhol and Rosenthal, a renowned German porcelain manufacturer, demonstrates the cross-pollination of art and design during the 1990s. The tray seamlessly merges the worlds of fine art and functional homeware, blurring the boundaries between the gallery space and the everyday. This Tray put the iconic Andy Warhol self...

Isotta Large Glass Centrepiece with Multicolored Leaves, Borek Sipek for Driade
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Joyful blown glass centrepiece with coloured leaves decoration. Here is a baroque fantasy signed by Borek Sipek.
Borek Sipek (1949-2016) studied interior design at the school for Arts & Crafts in Prague from 1964-1968. He went to Germany to study architecture at the Kunsthochschule in Hamburg. He also studied aesthetics and philosophy. In 1983, he moved to the Netherlands and set up the design office that provided a base for his subsequent explorations of oriental and occidental Arts & Crafts. His fateful encounter with Driade resulted in furniture and objects. The ideas eventually found their way into the Eidos, Malastrana and Follies Collections. Sipek's systematic revisitations of traditional craft techniques and materials have won several prestigious awards including, the Croix Chevalier Dans L'ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres from the French Government in 1991. In 1993, he won the Prins Bernard Fons Prize for architecture and arts. Sipek has an international reputation as an imaginative and versatile artist. He was appointed Prague castle architect by Czech president, Vaclav Havel. He worked from 1992-1996 on architectural detailing and other features of Joze Plecnik...
