Modern Pedestals

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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Round Outdoor Table, Hand-Carved Sandstone Round Outdoor Table by S. Odegard
Located in New York, NY
This round outdoor table is designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard. This is a hand-carved, hand-crafted round outdoor table. When the renowned designer Paul Mathieu first saw the extraordinary swirling colours and patterning of the modern Indian sandstone “Rainbow Teakwood” he realized that he had discovered the perfect material for round outdoor tables that would combine the look of both stone and wood. The table tops are cut to display the unique patterning characteristic of the stone, which resembles the appearance of wood cut across the grain. The massive yet deceptively elegant curved bases are each carved from a solid block of stone. Due to the size of these blocks, they must be quarried with the grain in the stone, not across the grain as the tabletops. The bases therefore have a similar appearance, but do not display the swirling grain as much, which would be distracting. Both tops and bases come sealed from the quarry. The different graining patterns show the sealer slightly differently, the bases looking “more dry” than the top. No two tables will be alike.
