Modern Center Tables

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Crete Dining Table by Eduard Locota, Turquoise-Blue Acrylic Glass and Marble
Located in Timisoara, RO
The Story The eternal Greek story of sea and land braking into each other to the infinite, captured into one memorable piece – Crete Table. Monolithic, sculptural and functional artwork. A geometry with contrasting straight and fluid lines, that is hiding a message expressed through materials and of the way they interact between each other. The protagonists of the Crete Table are the materials and their apparent opposed affair. I was looking for strong contrasts between shapes, colors and transparencies – that could have the strongest impact with the less elements. There is also a bold presence in a discreet style, a table of charm that will stop the viewer’s time. Personal customization Witness the incredible journey that starts from your dream island, and end to the creation of this beautiful maritime table...

Arkhe No 1 Coffee Table Square Travertine, Modern Sculptural by Fulden Topaloglu
Located in Istanbul, TR
Designer Fulden Topaloğlu explains the inspiration behind the design: “Arkhe Collection is a tribute to the beautiful amphitheaters dispersed throughout the Mediterranean geography. As a lucky kid growing up in the Aegean coast, the visits to these archaeological sites was an indispensable tradition of our family summer vacations. These visits always left me in awe, as the imagery and sensations of visiting these majestic remains of ancient times always gave a larger than life feeling to the mind and soul of that little kid I was back then. Looking back, I must add that the feeling changed only a little. Arkhe collection is a tribute to these magical ruins of my childhood memories and to all the history, culture and myths they whisper to our collective consciousness.” Arkhe coffee table...
