Modern
This style originated in the 1900s with the Bauhaus Movement, an architectural and visual ideal where form and function came together. Furniture was starting to be mass produced in a manner that was pleasing to the eye, whereas it was once commissioned one piece at a time by the wealthy. Then, a manufacturing shift occurred and produced a host of new materials, including:
- chrome
-- black leather
-- glass
-- Ultrasuede
Other characteristics include:
- natural forms of materials or lacquered finishes
-- simplified shapes
-- functionality
