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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art
Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

Victor Salmones Bronze Male Torso Sculpture Artist Proof, Figurative Mexican Art

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

A powerful bronze sculpture of a male torso by renowned Mexican modernist sculptor Victor Salmones (1937–1989). This finely executed Artist Proof (A/P) exemplifies Salmones’ celebrated exploration of the human form, combining classical sculptural traditions with the expressive language of modernism. The sculpture presents a muscular male torso rendered with dynamic modeling and richly textured surfaces, capturing both strength and sensuality. The dark patinated bronze emphasizes the sculptor’s expressive treatment of anatomy, with subtle variations in tone highlighting the movement and vitality of the figure. Salmones was internationally recognized for his monumental public sculptures and refined studio works, many of which reinterpret classical figurative themes through a modernist lens. His work is represented in important public collections and architectural settings throughout Mexico and internationally. Mounted on a solid travertine stone base, the sculpture achieves a balanced dialogue between the warmth of natural stone and the depth of the bronze patina, creating a sophisticated presentation suitable for modern interiors, curated collections, or architectural settings. Signed by the artist and marked Artist Proof (A/P), this work represents a compelling example of 20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture...

Contemporary European Block & Pearl Candlestick In Green by Margit Wittig

By Margit Wittig

Located in London, GB

Margit Wittig has used her sculptural skills to create beautifully-crafted, well-proportioned candlesticks, which are compositions of her unique signature pearl and block shaped designs. Each candlestick begins as hand-sculpted components which are used to create moulds in different sizes. These highly original, eye-catching candlesticks come in different sizes depending on the number of blocks. The candlesticks are cast in bio-resin with 30% recycled components and Jesmonite mixed with pigment at the start of the process, to ensure color consistency. Some of the candlesticks are subtly finished with hand painted gold patina to reflect the shimmer of the candle. Each one is made with a solid brass drip catcher and can be cast in a variety of colors. Working from her studio in London, as well as candlesticks, Margit creates artistic lighting...
