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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Casa de Familia Ceramic Bottle by Josep Maria Jujol
Located in Geneve, CH
Casa de Familia Ceramic Bottle by Josep Maria Jujol
Dimensions: Ø 14 x H 28 cm.
Materials: Ceramic.
Over a century ago this sculptural bottle was designed in glass. Now, a new, weightier version is reimagined in ceramic.
A new and improved more durable version in ceramic. Its tactile relief and
tapered silhouette are more evident.
Josep Maria Jujol (1879–1949) is one of the greatest yet least known figures in Catalan architecture. He embraced a number of artistic disciplines with the same impressive imagination; he was an architect, a painter, sculptor, and graphic artist, among other things, and was Gaudí’s closest and keenest collaborator. After working with the maestro, Jujol experimented with many styles to establish his own creative universe, far removed from the conventions of the time. The Casa de Familia bottle, designed in 1912 for the orphanage of the same name, is a simple and humble piece that demonstrates his artistic ability. Only one photograph of the original model still exists, cleverly taken in
front of two mirrors to show the work in full, now faithfully reproduced
by BD and made to last for centuries to come.
