| 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. Leathers or plainer, finer lined textures in textiles are normally used. Metals are usually added to give the piece structural strength, while enabling it to remain fine and open in appearance.
|
Modern furniture displays the simplest of shapes, curved, vertical, and horizontal, with feature angles. Different elements of structural work are often left exposed and selectively lit as features.
|
A stark, open feeling is required around the furniture piece, to give it a more architectural and artistic feel.
|
Colour is important. A bold spectrum of colour may be used to intensify the item. Feature walls of colour are used with abstract paintings as features.
|
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 from high apartment windows. Rooms are simplistic, with space being the main objective and the furniture is designed to look around, over and through.
|
Modern rooms are open, minimalist, clean and stark with a lot of use of the latest architectural design elements.
