About The Movements
CLASSIC, 1890–1920:
A
movement that saw opulence and modern technology converge. Design pushed beyond
the boundaries of historicism and neoclassicism, and art and architecture lost
their precise, monolithic geometries to become more fanciful and flowing,
intricate and organic.
The Classic Movement
pushed beyond the boundaries of historicism and neoclassic designs and put an
end to the staunch, monolithic and precise geometry that dominated art and
architecture. The result was a fresher, fanciful and natural aesthetic,
designed to help relieve the stress and disorder that accompanied the growth of
the urban industrial landscape. During this time fine art, decorative art, and
architecture merged. No item was deemed too utilitarian to be adorned with
flowing lines, organic detail, and intricate pattern.

GOLDEN ERA,
1920–1950:
A
new spirit of experimentation was evident in the decorative arts, while the
rise of industrial design led to controlled contours, simplified geometries,
and reduced ornamentation — a thoughtful, refined aesthetic that reflected a
society on the move.
The first decades of the 20th Century ushered in a new spirit of
experimentation especially in decorative arts, automotive design and home
goods. Industrial design was on the rise with controlled contours,
simplified geometries and a reductive approach to decoration. Responsive
to all surroundings and representing a break from the heavy ornamentation of
the past, design of the era was thoughtful, refined and reflected a modern
society on the move.
