Modern Furniture Style
Open, minimalist, clean, and stark
Inspired by many influences the Modern furniture forms are predominantly stark, geometrical and without ornamentation.
Some may have a more sculptural approach and tend to make use of the latest technological advances such as moulded plastics, foam padding and lightweight aluminium frames.
Modern furniture displays the simplest of shapes, curved, vertical, horizontal and with feature angles.A stark, open feeling is required around the furniture piece to give it a more architectural, artistic feel.
Colour is important. A bold spectrum of colour may be used to intensify the item.Leathers or plainer, finer lined textures in textiles are normally used.
Modern furniture is generally made to sit low in the room, enhancing the room while leaving open space around and above because it is often based around views out of windows for example, landscape or ocean views form high apartment windows.
Metals are usually added to give the piece structural strength while enabling it to remain fine and open in appearance.
Modern rooms are open, minimalist, clean, and stark with a lot of use of the latest architectural design elements. They are simplistic, with space being the main objective. Furniture designed to look around, over and through.
Feature walls of colour are used with abstract paintings as features.Different elements of structural work are often left exposed and selectively lit as features.
"This is my interpretation of this style
based on my vision, inspiration and
design of furniture and period rooms
and homes.
