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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Contemporary Italian Table Lamp "Funghetto" with Alabaster Lampshade
Contemporary Italian Table Lamp "Funghetto" with Alabaster Lampshade

Contemporary Italian Table Lamp "Funghetto" with Alabaster Lampshade

By Matlight Milano

Located in Milano, IT

The compact size of this table lamp makes it a perfect choice for smaller spaces or as an accent piece on bedside tables or wall cabinets. Despite its small size, the lamp's design is visually striking and impactful, with the veins of the natural materials taking center stage. The semi-spherical alabaster lampshade and conical satin brass base are available in two versions, alternating between alabaster and satin brass. This allows for a degree of customization and personalization, so that the lamp can be tailored to suit individual preferences and interior styles. The use of natural materials such as alabaster and brass lends a sense of warmth and authenticity to the lamp, while also providing a visual and tactile contrast. The natural veins and patterns of the alabaster are accentuated by the lamp's design, creating a unique and eye-catching effect. Overall, this compact table...
