| dbo:abstract | Modern furniture refers to furniture produced from the late 19th century through the present that is influenced by modernism. Post-World War II ideals of cutting excess, commodification, and practicality of materials in design heavily influenced the aesthetic of the furniture. It was a tremendous departure from all furniture design that had gone before it. There was an opposition to the decorative arts, which included Art Nouveau, Neoclassical, and Victorian styles. Dark or gilded carved wood and richly patterned fabrics gave way to the glittering simplicity and geometry of polished metal. The forms of furniture evolved from visually heavy to visually light. This shift from decorative to minimalist principles of design can be attributed to the introduction of new technology, changes in philosophy, and the influences of the principles of architecture. As Philip Johnson, the founder of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art articulates: "Today industrial design is functionally motivated and follows the same principles as modern architecture: machine-like simplicity, smoothness of surface, avoidance of ornament ... It is perhaps the most fundamental contrast between the two periods of design that in 1900 the Decorative Arts possessed ..." With the machine aesthetic, modern furniture easily came to promote factory modules, which emphasized the time-managing, efficient ideals of the period. Modernist design was able to strip down decorative elements and focus on the design of the object in order to save time, money, material, and labour. The goal of modern design was to capture timeless beauty in spare precision. (en) Modern möbeldesign syftar på den enkla, rena och sparsmakade möbeldesignen mellan ungefär 1920–1970 under modernismen. Under 1900-talet var designen en viktig del i vardagen och kulturen. Designen kunde också ses som ett sätt att förbättra människors livskvalité på. Det fanns ingen teoretisk och filosofisk grund eller intellektuell baktanke med objektets design och därför hade formgivningen en mycket liten påverkan på samhället och den industriella utvecklingen. Den moderna designen utvecklades av 1800-talets designreformer, bland annat William Morris vars idéer senare bidrog till den moderna rörelsen. Walter Gropius försökte integrera teori med träning genom industriell produktion under 1900-talet, vilket gav upphov till den moderna möbeldesignen. Gropius skapade senare skolan Bauhaus för att förena den kommersiella verkligheten med den sociala idealismen som rådde i samhället. Designen under 1900-talet blev mer mångsidig eftersom designprocessens komplexitet ökade. När föremålen började produceras industriellt skapades även fler yrkesmöjligheter. Den historiska mångfalden förändrades också på grund av nya konsumtionsvanor. När man studerar design är det viktigt att komma ihåg att produkterna kan bara bli förstådda utifrån periodens sociala, teknologiska, kulturella och ekonomiska sammanhang. Ett flertal gånger under 1900-talet påverkade händelser i samhället, specifikt inom västvärldens ekonomi möbeldesignen. Det som drev på designutvecklingen var tävlingen om att skapa konkurrerande produkter. Designer kunde också ha en djupare mening bakom sina verk och fungerade därför som en samhällsdebatt mellan olika åsikter. (sv) |
