Questions About Contemporary Furniture Designers
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2020
Items manufactured after 2000 are considered “contemporary.” The year 2000 was chosen as the accepted date to mark the point at which digital design and manufacturing began to effect design, either as a generative process or reaction.
- What is a furniture designer?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024A furniture designer is a professional who creates furniture. They begin with a concept and then produce sketches to capture their vision. Then, they create more detailed schematics that can be used to manufacture furniture. Some well-known furniture designers include Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Paul Frankl, Milo Baughman, Gio Ponti, Le Corbsuier, Ettore Sottsass, Paul Evans, Jules Leleu, Poul Kjærholm, George Nakashima, Eero Saarinen, Frank Lloyd Wright and Hans J. Wegner. Explore a large selection of furniture on 1stDibs.
- What is modern furniture design?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Modern furniture design is an overarching term for the new approach that designers began taking in the early 20th century. Many experts cite the Bauhaus movement as the start of the modern era. Its style was defined by the instructors and students at a progressive German art and design school founded by the architect Walter Gropius that operated from 1919 to 1933. In Bauhaus-style furniture, the school’s followers married industrial and natural materials in simple, geometric forms. The goal of the Bauhaus was to erase the distinction between art and craft while embracing the use of new technologies and materials. As the Bauhaus movement was emerging, so too was Art Deco. This iconic movement made an indelible mark on all fields of design throughout the 1920s and ’30s, celebrating society’s growing industrialization with refined elegance and stunning craftsmanship. Art Deco furniture makers respected the dark woods and modern metals with which they worked; they frequently incorporated decorative embellishments such as exotic animal hides as well as veneers in their seating, case pieces, living room sets and bedroom furniture. After World War II, modern design continued with the mid-century modern movement. The style is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Historians typically say that the modern approach to furniture design ended in the mid-1960s or early 1970s. Pieces made after that time may be called postmodern or contemporary. Shop a large collection of modern furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024What you call a person who designs furniture is simply a furniture designer. Some people may use the terms furniture designer and furniture maker interchangeably, but these words actually have different meanings. A furniture maker is a person or company that crafts furniture. In some cases, furniture makers may also be furniture designers. However, this isn't always the case. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Eileen Gray was one of the leading pioneers of the modern movement in furniture and design. She was known for her tubular steel Bibendum Chair, a take on the Michelin Man. Shop a collection of Eileen Gray’s pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The design of Cebu furniture by Kenneth Cobonpue frequently features bold, dramatic lines that give the pieces a sculptural quality. Cobonpue favors natural materials and fabrics like rattan, abaca and hardwoods. You'll find a variety of Kenneth Cobonpue furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Some of the most famous mid-century modern furniture designers were Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Paul Evans, Poul Kjærholm, Florence Knoll, George Nakashima, Giò Ponti, Hans Wegner, Charlotte Perriand, Sergio Rodrigues and Eero Saarinen.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Marcel Breuer introduced the material of tubular steel to modern furniture design. He employed it in many of his chairs, tables and sofas, prizing the material because it minimized the weight of pieces without sacrificing their strength. Shop a range of Marcel Breuer furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Marcel Breuer designed tubular steel furniture with Mies van der Rohe. It was Breuer who came up with the idea for using the material as a base for chairs, tables and other furnishings after he became fascinated by the frame of his bicycle.
