Modern Coat Racks and Stands

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

There is a country, close to Wonderland, where objects come to life and grow like no other. Caroline Schilling, a designer who graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, ( ENSAD ), imagines a country where excess reigns supreme. ? The motto "Think big - Live bigger" resonates until nightfall. The objects that emanate from it at dawn all have their own character and the power to combine both the useful and the unusual. Raised on the emerged lands of dreamlike Design; a form of game, a game of form, are the fertile ground of puns, which are here to tickle our cheekbones. Giants with golden hands shape these everyday companions, straight from the wild imagination of a designer who sees big, very big. "Le curieux" According to him, curiosity is not a bad thing and this screen will use this to his advantage! This screen is mischievous, sometimes opening up and sometimes shutting himself away, but always there to protect you from prying eyes. Its screw or bolt-shaped pegs can be used as a coat or bag holder. The folding screen is on wheels and can be moved easily This room devider...
