Modernism is a word we all know so well. From the movements leading to the use of straight lines, Modernism rose and became one of the most design pushing eras. From the works of Mies van der Rohe to Frank Lloyd Wright, modernism opened a path for future design eras.
One designer I found most interesting during this time era was, of course, Frank Lloyd Wright. His design and technique was most intriguing to me. Last semester I was able to tour Wright's Dana Thomas home and was amazed by the creative design he produced for his client. The use of clean lines, stain glass, light, and beam exposure was most prominent in this space, as well as Wright's other designs as we say in the class lecture. A home that I have found interesting is the home that Wright created was in River Forest, IL, called the Winslow House. Below are images of the classic modern home that was created in Wright's early years.
Below are images of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture that are used today in designs inspired by the particular design era.
For the emergence of modernism I viewed Nicole K. and Sammy's blogs. Nicole talked about Mies van der Rohe and showed the design pushing Farnsworth home. Sammy discussed Frank Lloyd Wright also and how he had so many different works and projects, she also discussed the De Stijl era and the uniqueness of that. Overall both blogs discussed topics that were unique to this era and displayed the common design that accompanied this era.
