Organic Modern Tribal Art

ORGANIC MODERN STYLE

Organic modern furniture is characterized by clean lines, an overall uncomplicated aesthetic and a prioritizing of natural, sustainable materials, such as wood and stone. There are lots of earth tones and natural-world textures rather than bright color palettes or fabrics embellished with busy patterns.

Organic furniture is minimalist and, owing to the ideas of venerable architect Frank Lloyd Wright, designed for warm spaces that promote harmony between human habitation and the great outdoors. Organic modern design, including in furniture and architecture, emerged in the 1930s.

Designers such as Andrianna Shamaris, Alguacil & Perkoff and Jörg Pietschmann — all known for organic modern design — have created furniture that brings dynamic and unpredictable energy to home interiors while emphasizing the importance of a relationship with the natural world.

Striking an appealing balance between our living spaces and nature doesn't have to be an arduous task — the broad selection of original organic modern furniture on 1stDibs includes solid wood tables, bamboo seating options, hand-knotted wall tapestries and more.

Vintage Teak Burl Wood Bowl, Java, Mid-20th Century
Located in Point Richmond, CA
Vintage Teak Burl Wood bowl, Java, Mid-20th Century. 9-3/4" dia by 4-1/2" tall. This lovely burl bowl was used to hold the betel nut and condiments for betel nut chewing, an essential form of social interaction throughout southeast Asia. Because sharing betel was such an important act of hospitality, the vessels and paraphernalia involved also became highly prestigious objects. This beautifully figured bowl was such an object, and would have been treasured for the quality and density of its burl. It is hand made from a single piece of teak burl. Originally it would have had a metal liner, most probably of bronze or brass, and would have held a number of smaller metal vessels...
