MODERN STYLE: ORIGINS<\/h2>\n\n

The modern style<\/strong> combines a set of rather \u201chybrid\u201d characteristics, since it is a macro category, within which different \u201cniche\u201d styles can be understood.<\/p>\n\n

In any case, a modern style clearly differs from a classic or rustic<\/a> one, but it can also differ from the so-called \u201ccontemporary\u201d style, since it is characterized by less aggressive details.<\/p>\n\n

The modern style emerged from a revolution in the world of architecture between the wars where every design criterion and aesthetic were rethought.<\/p>\n\n

It is still considered today as one of the most important movements in the history of architecture. The essence of modernism is functionality<\/strong>, or the need for each designed space to obtain the best possible utility.<\/p>\n\n

The movement has crowned many masters still considered among the best ever, such as Le Corbusier<\/a> with his ideas of social urban planning and Frank Lloyd Wright<\/a> and organic architecture without forgetting the institution that has become the Bauhaus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

In 1936 in America the movement was also called International Style, precisely because of the fact that it had revolutionized the whole world somewhat.<\/p>\n\n

For a young couple, singles, or those who intend to give their home decor a complete makeover, choosing a modern style for furnishing a home is one of the most natural options because it allows the greatest compromises in the available budget and the amount of furniture to buy.<\/p>\n\n

After all, modern style often flows into minimalist<\/a> style.<\/p>\n\n

Outfitting a modern home does not necessarily translate into arranging a design object or a contemporary piece of furniture in some corner: choices must be made to create an environment in which one feels good.<\/p>\n\n

MAIN FEATURES<\/h3>\n\n

So what does modern style mean in the sphere of furniture?<\/p>\n\n

However, it remains a concept very tied to the architecture of the house that has evolved over the years. The link between beauty and purpose is indispensable<\/strong>, nothing can be beautiful if it is not functional.<\/p>\n\n

The current modern style has inherited the concept of the original modernism but has slowly merged with the idea of minimalism of forms and spaces, which is very representative of our current contemporary times.<\/p>\n\n

The materials that are used to furnish in the modern style are simple, often shiny and polished.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The spaces are calibrated in the right way between open space<\/a> and furnishings<\/a> and the colors tend to be neutral or dark, always solid color.<\/p>\n\n

The modern style is thus characterized by the use of modern materials and furniture precisely, that is, obtained by techniques different from those of the distant past.<\/p>\n\n

For example, wood is also widely used in the modern style, as in the classic style, but the treatments it undergoes are different, making it more durable and sometimes even aesthetically different.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, the lines of the furniture can take different shapes, even irregular and without decorations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The goal of the modern furniture style is to free oneself from the \u201cweight\u201d of large, ornament-filled, nonfunctional furniture.<\/p>\n\n

The goal is to lighten rooms and make them more practical for cleaning and daily use. For these reasons, technology is also widely used in the modern furniture style. <\/p>\n\n

Modern style can be softer and give feelings of calm and relaxation, or it can be cheerful and lively, with very accented touches.<\/p>\n\n
