MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Monumental 10 Light Fresnel Sunflower Chandelier by Dirk van der Kooij
Located in Culver City, CA
In the opulent world of the uber-rich, where mansions are counted in the tens of millions, and pop superstars reign supreme, one can expect nothing less than extravagance in every detail. Amidst the glittering gems of a $70 million mansion owned by a legendary pop sensation, we had the honor of acquiring a custom chandelier that defies convention and embodies the spirit of luxury and creativity. Allow me to introduce you to a dazzling masterpiece—a one-of-a-kind creation by none other than the visionary Dirk Van Der Kooij.
Picture yourself stepping into a lavish, sun-drenched living room, adorned with the finest furniture money can buy. In this resplendent space, the centerpiece of the room is the extraordinary custom chandelier—a breathtaking work of art that beckons the gaze of those who dare enter.
This chandelier is unlike anything you've ever seen. It's as if an intricate web of tinker toy sticks and wheels has come to life, monumentally suspended from the ceiling in a mesmerizing display. Crisscrossing black rods weave an intricate pattern, resembling the playful sticks of childhood imagination, yet with an adult sophistication that captures the essence of modern luxury.
The magic of this chandelier lies in its radiant, wheel-shaped 3D-printed recycled plastic rings. These translucent rings, adorned with a riot of bright lights, cast a celestial glow, reminiscent of twinkling stars on a clear night. Imagine standing beneath this celestial marvel, feeling as if you're gazing at the very cosmos itself.
But what truly sets this chandelier apart are the circular black balls nestled at its core, reminiscent of the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop. These unique orbs, resembling beautifully lit lollipops, add a whimsical touch to the chandelier's design, infusing an air of playfulness and joy into the opulent setting.
Dirk Van Der Kooij, the mastermind behind this creation, is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of design. His philosophy revolves around longevity, functionality, and joy, and this chandelier is a testament to those principles. Van Der Kooij's journey began in 2009 when he set up his studio in the basement of the Design Academy, Eindhoven. His quest to find the honest, durable potential in plastic led to groundbreaking innovations, including the iconic Elephant Skin series, where recycled plastic came alive with rich, living tactility.
The Kooij collection, with its penchant for unconventional materials and a marriage of craft and technology, has found its way into prestigious museums worldwide. Pieces from his collection now grace the permanent collections of institutions like MoMA in New York and the Vitra Design Museum, a testament to his enduring impact on the world of design.
Now, picture the scene where this magnificent chandelier hangs in the mansion—a scene of luxurious excess and unapologetic glamour. Surrounding it are design classics, including the Cassina Mex Cube...
