Modern Design
Modern design refers specifically to the Modernist movement of the early-to-mid 20th century, characterized by the radical rejection of ornament and historical reference. It embraces industrial materials and the principle that form follows function.
Design Philosophy
Modernist philosophy, influenced by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, holds that buildings and interiors should be machines for living — efficient, honest in their materials, and free from unnecessary decoration.
