Modern Furniture
More than 50 years ago designers developed the modern movement and
began producing furniture meant to occupy the homes of newly
sprouting suburbia. With new materials and concepts, it was a
revolution in design. Thus was modern the first
modern/contemporary furniture. During the middle of the last
century, there was the promise of better living through technology
that started around 1940 because of WWII. New materials were
designed or discovered for the war effort and designers started to
explore what they could do with them. Furniture from this movement
is known by many different names--minimalism, pop, organic,
contemporary, high tech and futuristic. It also incorporates many
new materials like fibreglass, different woods, plastic, Lucite,
bent plywood and parachute webbing. Modern furniture became known
for its simple lines and uncluttered form, which shunned the
flowery decoration of period furniture. This sort of design
austerity can sometimes seem uninviting, but comfort and usability
are very much a part of modern pieces.
