Modern and contemporary furniture mean the same thing, right? Not exactly. Each style comes from different influences and time periods, although the recent confusion between the two is understandable.
Modern furniture refers to a specific style: The Modernist movement that began in the early 1900s with the Bauhaus school of design.
These designs were a rebellion against the ornate designs that preceded them. Think of art deco designs and all of their flourishes and ornamentations. Now think of the opposite, and you’ll think of Modernism.
Modernist principles embrace a simple, clean look. Its main principles include the following:
• Minimalist design
• Smooth surfaces
• Clean, straight lines
• Warm neutral colors accented by vivid hues
• Materials that include both wood and metals
