Modern Seating

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Wing Chair with Arms by Simonini, Solid Wood, Modern Design

By SIMONINI

Located in Vila Cordeiro, São Paulo

A study in proportion, softness, and structural grace. The Wing Collection is born from the pursuit of equilibrium, balancing structure and lightness, geometry and comfort, precision and sensuality. Inspired by the aerodynamic lines of the B-52 aircraft, Wing translates the logic of flight into furniture that feels simultaneously grounded and suspended. Subtle transitions, sculpted volumes, and resilient wood sections create a rhythm that is architectural yet fluid. Every element is guided by the golden section, ensuring that each profile and inclination exists in perfect proportion to the whole. Crafted in solid wood, Wing reveals natural variations in grain, making every piece unique. Despite its sculptural presence, it remains warm and intimately functional, inviting daily use through the softness of curve, the precision of joinery, and the balance of proportion. Wing is a breeze, a presence felt, not imposed. A collection designed to inhabit life gracefully, every day. In the armchair version, the Wing Chair...
