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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

De Sede DS 615/92B Small Dining Table in Marble Blue Top by Mario Ferrarini
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Conical table leg seeks guests. One of the great passions of our master craftsmen is to experiment with leather as a material, always treading new paths. In the case of DS-615, they deserve all the accolades: they managed to take the idea of bringing our Artisano leather to the table and turn this into a reality. A concealed metal construction serves as a stable support for the table leg, to which four pieces of leather in the form of a cone are applied with a strap seam. Certainly, you are familiar with the spinning dances of the dervishes in their long skirts. When they celebrate their centuries-old ritual in a trance, their generous movements create a particularly impressive motif that Italian designer Mario Ferrarini could never forget. The whirling dervishes provided the inspiration for a conical table leg in which four pieces of ARTISANO leather are joined by hand with carefully applied cross stitching – the strong, shaping features of this leather are ideal for the DS 615 table series – whether as an exclusive conference table or as an eye-catcher in a stylish dining room: the table invites people to discuss, laugh, consult, eat or linger – there’s never a square moment! Additional information: Material: Marble beligan blue top with leather Additional Information: Base Characteristics Artisano: Type: Core leather Thickness: 2.4 - 2.6 mm Characteristics: Strong, firm and durable. The saddle leather is uniquely created by nature with its pattern of pores, grain and surface structure. Its qualities make it suitable for compact seating pieces or backrests as well as smooth surfaces such as bodies and sides. Top Characteristics Tela: The surfaces of Tela are coated with mixtures of stone or metal. Due to an intelligent and meticulously designed mix of materials the finished table tops function as a canvas to play on. Dimensions: 140 W x 74 H Available in other base upholstery options: Naturale, fango, black Available in other top options: Metal iron, marble Carrara, stone coral, stone jade, stone lapislazuli and metal brass Available in other stone options: Calacatta oro, star dust, sahara noir, rosso lepanto, verde guatemala, green botanic, beola(indoor/semi-outdoor), labrador antique...
