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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Peristylo 3 Shelves by Oscar Tusquets
Located in Geneve, CH
Peristylo 3 Shelves by Oscar Tusquets
Dimensions: D 40 x W 92 x H 176 cm.
Materials: Solid ash wood and stained black wood.
Shelving and base in solid ash wood and turned vertical supports in stained
black wood. Available with or without baseboard. Also available with 4 shelves, 2 shelves and 1 shelf. Please contact us.
Classical principles of architecture inform this simple unit of shelves, bringing together horizontal and vertical elements in perfect harmony.
Columnata took its name from its underlying inspiration and a frequent reference in Tusquets’ work, the column. Within this vertical structure, the horizontal shelves can be arranged in various formations— symmetrical and asymmetrical, wall-hung or free-standing. The final units are functional and refined, ideal for book-lovers and anyone who enjoys such compositional harmony.
Oscar Tusquets describes himself as an architect by training, a designer by adaptation, a painter by vocation, and a writer through the desire to make friends. Graduating from Barcelona’s Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in 1965, Tusquets became a member of Studi Per. Together, they founded BD in 1972, and he set about designing furniture and objects, soon recognised by the Spanish National Design Award.

Organic and immediate, the extruded structures are intersected with straight lines to create cell-like chambers.
Each chamber suggests a place for something, but for what is unclear. The amorphous forms can be developed into endless new structures.
