Modern Decorative Objects

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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 chaircrafted 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 Campbell Soup Square Glass Tray Designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal
1990s Campbell Soup Square Glass Tray Designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal

1990s Campbell Soup Square Glass Tray Designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal

By Rosenthal, Andy Warhol

Located in Aci Castello, IT

The glass tray designed by Andy Warhol for Rosenthal is a decorative tray that features Warhol's iconic Campbell Soup can designs. This tray was created in the 1990s by Rosenthal, a German porcelain and glassware manufacturer, as part of a limited edition series of home decor items featuring Warhol's artwork. It's in perfect condition, probably never used, and signed by Andy Warhol on the front and labeled by Rosenthal on the bottom. The tray is made of clear glass and has a square shape with rounded corners, making it a compact but eye-catching piece of decor. The tray's surface features a continuous, colorful reproduction of one of Warhol's Campbell Soup can designs, which were first created in the 1960s as part of his exploration of consumer culture and advertising. The tray's design is simple but bold, and its use of vibrant colors and familiar imagery make it a great conversation starter and a fun addition to any room. As a limited edition item designed by a well-known artist, the tray may have some collectible value among fans of Warhol's work or collectors of vintage glassware...
