Dimensions : Plateau : 32 cm square per side, 6 cm in height. Pieces : From 4cm to 10cm. . Shipping to: Worldwide. . Minimalist in spirit, it goes perfectly with the works of Martin Szekely or Alexandre Noll and furniture from Knoll International and also Josef Hoffmann. Brutalist spirit, would also go with pieces by Pucci de Rossi or even François Arnal, Alessandro Mendini, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé... . Located between the 70s and the 80s, will also be in harmony with furniture from Philippe Starck, Ettore Sottsass or Willy Rizzo, and memphis movement . From the mid late 70s there is a real turn. They are opposed on all grounds of style. The philosophy : In 1980, the end of discretion, we entered the show off years. In decoration, we like what is rare, and expensive! The trend is towards the return of limited series and expensive materials. Designers are starting to be seen as stars. On the contrary, ten years later, the creators seek to give meaning to the objects and buildings they imagine. Any creation is the result of a long reflection, not always easy to grasp for the general public. Colors : The 80s saw the birth of neon and the mass use of primary colors. Long live the colors of the Rubik's Cube that are often combined with black, a color that was very successful during this period. On the side of the 90s, we opt for much less clear-cut harmonies, natural colors, steel and glass dominate. The subjects Basically they do not represent a real concern in the 80s, apart from their price which often defines the value of objects. Conversely, a decade later appears the concern for a sustainable and ecological design. The material and the design processes become essential. As in the work of the Dutch collective Piet Hein Eek, which elevates recycling to the rank of art! Shapes : As with colors, the 80s made extensive use of simple geometric shapes to create the signature style of that era. The Memphis group has thus become famous throughout the world thanks to its creations that look like modern and multicolored totems. The 1990s took the opposite view of this trend, bringing shapes inspired by the animal and plant worlds up to date.
