Modern design and contemporary design should not be confused. Many people use this word to describe contemporary furniture. Modern furniture falls within a particular period and it has a lot to do with the style and the design thereof. This particular style falls into a specific style and design which must fulfill the standards of Modernism.
Modern and this period are two totally different periods in art and design and this applies here as well. It does not mean that it cannot be contemporary as there are many interpretations which could make it fit into the category under discussion. It would, however, have to fall in a certain design style to be called that and it has to do with a number of factors.
The way to recognize it is to look at the line, shape, color and materials which were used. This type of furniture has clean lines and makes use of basic shapes such as the square, the circle and the rectangle. The last few years have seen a revival in this type of design. It is able to fit together perfectly and, hence, it makes for very practical and stylish decor.
Apart from the straight lines, squares and rectangles, they also introduced curved lines. The different aspects include sofas, chairs, cupboards and tables. The materials are also an indication of the period which is vinyl, plywood, acrylic (which was also available in transparent form) and chrome. The vinyl was used in place of leather and the legs of were most often in tubular chrome. The seating was more likely to be in colored acrylic or vinyl. The idea behind this was for practicality and affordability.
The tables are a good example of modular trend of this period. The chairs, sofas and tables have this same feature. It fitted or fits into each other and can be used in a variety of ways. The colours are usually neutral with splashes of bright primary or secondary colors. It is the epitome of periods 1950 through 1960.
The contemporary interpretation of this period, leaned heavily on designers such as Le Corbusier, Josef Hoffman, Arne Jacobsen and Eero Aarnio among others. Le Corbusier is captured in the square chair with chrome casing and its leather seating. Josef Hoffman's chairs are revived in the Kubus styled chairs for which he was famous.
The standing ball chair, which has also been made out of clear acrylic and can hang from the ceiling, has been an innovation of Eero Aarnio. Arne Jacobsen created the swan chair which also makes its appearance in this category in the contemporary society. The designs for modern furniture Toronto are aesthetically appealing and comfortable as well.
Anyone who wishes to revive this period's designer furniture has to take into consideration the exact reason why it is called that. For example, Le Corbusier used the golden ratio in his designs. The best way to therefore replicate any of the ideas is to capture its full purpose, aesthetics and design elements.
