BRUTALIST STYLE

The design of brutalist furniture encompasses that which is crafted, hewn and worked by hand — an aesthetic rebuke (or, at least, a counterpoint) to furniture that is created using 21st-century materials and technology. Lately, the word “brutalist” has been adopted by the realms of furniture design and the decorative arts to refer to chairs, cabinets, tables and accessory pieces such as mirror frames and lighting that are made of rougher, deeply textured metals and other materials that are the visual and palpable antithesis of the sleek, smooth and suave. 

ORIGINS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN

CHARACTERISTICS OF BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGN 

  • Use of industrial materials — tubular steel, concrete, glass, granite
  • Prioritizes functionalism, minimalism and utilization of negative space
  • Spare silhouettes, pronounced geometric shapes
  • Stripped-down, natural look; rugged textures, modular construction
  • Interiors featuring airy visual flow and reliance on neutral palettes

BRUTALIST FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW

VINTAGE BRUTALIST FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS

The term brutalism — which derives from the French word brut, meaning “raw” — was coined by architecture critic Reyner Banham to describe an architectural style that emerged in the 1950s featuring monumental buildings, usually made of unornamented concrete, whose design was meant to project an air of strength and solidity.

Le Corbusier essentially created the brutalist style; its best-known iterations in the United States are the Whitney Museum of American Art, which was designed by Marcel Breuer, and Paul Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building. The severe style might have been the most criticized architectural movement of the 20th century, even if it was an honest attempt to celebrate the beauty of raw material. But while the brutalist government buildings in Washington, D.C., seemingly bask in their un-beauty, brutalist interior design and decor is much more lyrical, at times taking on a whimsical, romantic quality that its exterior counterparts lack.

Paul Evans is Exhibit A for brutalist furniture design. His Sculpture Front cabinets laced with high-relief patinated steel mounts have become collector's items nonpareil, while the chairs, coffee table and dining table in his later Cityscape series and Sculpted Bronze series for Directional Furniture are perhaps the most expressive, attention-grabbing pieces in American modern design. Other exemplary brutalist designers are Silas Seandel, the idiosyncratic New York furniture designer and sculptor whose works in metal — in particular his tables — have a kind of brawny lyricism, and Curtis Jere, a nom-de-trade for the California team of Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, the bold makers of expressive scorched and sheared copper and brass mirror frames and wall-mounted sculptures.

Brutalist furniture and sculptures remain popular with interior designers and can lend unique, eccentric, human notes to an art and design collection in any home.

1960s Brutalist Hand-Forged Metal Still Life Flower Sculpture by Bob Schmitz
1960s Brutalist Hand-Forged Metal Still Life Flower Sculpture by Bob Schmitz

1960s Brutalist Hand-Forged Metal Still Life Flower Sculpture by Bob Schmitz

By Curtis Jeré, Marc Weinstein

Located in St. Louis, MO

This exceptional 1960s Brutalist still life sculpture is a masterful testament to mid-century studio craft, presenting a powerful interplay of industrial raw metalwork and organic botanical form. As beautifully captured in photos, this piece is meticulously hand-forged, showcasing an array of highly stylized flowers, spiky starburst flora, and textured wheat-like stalks rising elegantly from a faceted, geometric iron vase. Each blossom is intricately constructed with individual layered metal petals, jagged cut edges, and torch-cut brazed brass accents at the centers that catch the light, adding a brilliant flash of warmth to the dark, moodier iron patina. For critical collector provenance, this important mid-century work is signed "Bob Schmitz" in a striking gold script on the reverse side of the vase. Vase is 6.75"h x 6.25" x 6.25" Embodying the rebellious, texture-heavy spirit of the Brutalist art movement, this hand-forged sculpture celebrates raw construction with its exposed welds, torch-hewn edges, and multi-toned oxidation. Cleverly engineered for both stability and customizable display, the heavy metal flower rods are held securely in place by a dense sand filling on the inside of the vase, allowing the dramatic bouquet to maintain its striking arrangement. The faceted exterior features beautifully visible seams and a mottled, fire-kissed surface patina that transitions seamlessly from dark charcoal tones to deep copper hues, accented by the artist's gold signature. A commanding and deeply textural decorative statement, this mid-century studio sculpture by Bob Schmitz makes an incredible centerpiece for a Brutalist or mid-century modern interior. Born in Illinois, Bob Schmitz was a skilled Midwestern craftsman who learned the intricacies of welding and traditional metalworking directly from his grandfather, a professional blacksmith. He eventually took over his family's historic forge, successfully transitioning the traditional shop into specialized, custom fabrication and independent studio design. Operating in the true spirit of the mid-century American Studio Craft movement, Schmitz hand-forged, torch-cut, and built his pieces individually by hand rather than relying on mass factory production. This meticulous, bench-work approach explains the highly customized, one-of-a-kind engineering seen in his work, such as using a dense sand filling inside the vase to balance and secure the heavy metal flower rods. Active during the 1960s and 1970s boom in torch-cut metal art, Schmitz utilized heavy, industrial materials like iron, brass, and copper to create dramatic, highly textured interpretations of nature. Because he was a dedicated regional craftsman who prioritized individual studio artistry over large-scale commercial gallery contracts, surviving examples of his large-scale sculptural work remain exceptionally rare to find on the open market today.
