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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

At first sight, Trio is a side table that consists of three transparent bowls overlapping one another. The
opening of each bowl is covered with either a glass, metal or wood top. The shape of the bowl is suggested
by a single curved line — seemingly a spectacular feat of balance, yet the result is surprisingly stable, with
each shape secured to the others in two different points. This single-leg structure supports several table tops, contrasting with more traditional table...

These side tables take their inspiration from Mediterranean architectural research: houses carved into rocks or built up with clay. Those graphic and angular forms are naturally shaped out from elements and fit with human living. Sol sculptures are thought like caves or refuges that can be used as side tables integrating storages but also as seatings. The rough material recalls in a significant way the flawlessness of the limestone rock.
