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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Located in North Hollywood, CA

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, Book of The Month Club Ed. in Original DJ
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Orwell, George. Nineteen Eighty-Four. New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc., 1949. Book of the Month Club Edition. In the original publisher’s blue dust jacket and gray cloth boards. Presented with a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case.
This is an early Book of the Month Club edition of George Orwell's famous dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. First published in June of 1949 by London's Secker and Warburg, this Book of the Month Club edition was published in New York by Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc. later that year. It is presented here in the publisher’s original blue colored dust jacket and gray cloth boards, with a new archival ¼ leather and cloth clamshell case.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is set in a society where most of the world population have become victims of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and propaganda. "No other dystopian novel has received the critical acclaim or had the wide-ranging influence that 1984 has" (Books of the Century, 161). Written while Orwell suffered severely from tuberculosis and published shortly before the disease claimed his life, the novel is a work "of hectic, devilish, claustrophobic intensity… nightmarish in the telling" (Clute & Nicholls, 896).
