Modern Center Tables

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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 chaircrafted 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.

Blue in Orange Model Table by Gio Minelli for Superego Editions, Italy
Located in Milan, Italy
The blue in orange table from the Kernel series is a unique piece made entirely by hand by the designer. Completely built in Glebanite, a special blend of recycled and recyclable fiberglass. An artistic work of circular economy that takes care of the planet earth and our future. The top of blue in orange is orange in color with a large blue central area. It alternates shiny parts with opaque parts, its surface shows signs of manual processing, smoothing, craterisms and irregular shades of color ranging from blue to green, to orange and red. Its appearance and the sensations to the touch constantly communicate the dexterity and spirit transmitted by the artist in the work. Its organic shaped base resembles a primitive bark, a lava stone. The resin glass makes the work very resistant and can also be used outdoors. Biography Gio Minelli was born in Bergamo, on the 15 th...
