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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Lost Paper in white bronze
By TIPSTUDIO
Located in Florence, IT
Born from a contemplation on the transient nature of modern consumerism, Lost Paper emerges as a tribute to the overlooked beauty hidden within everyday disposables. Through a process of transformation, single-use paper and cardboard packaging are elevated into timeless and substantial objects, imbued with significance through the ancient craft of casting. Each creation begins with a sheet of paper, meticulously cut, folded, intertwined, and secured with a delicate layer of wax, forming intricate and organic structures destined for bronze casting.
The result is a unique textured paper spider webs, delicately poised between the ethereal lightness of their origins and the enduring strength of their newfound substance in white...
