- W1548281048 abstract "TO REDEFINE THE CLASSICAL LANGUAGE OF FURNITURE IN THE CONTEXTOF OUR CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT TODAY.Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity,the dread of doing what has been done before.EDITH WHARTONAn investigation of the classical language of furniture will- enable me to understandthe social and cultural implications of style, through the study of forms, materials,and details expressed in selected furniture pieces. I will redefine classical language bytranslating these ideas into a modern context, using technology to explore thedifferent possibilities and uses within our cultural environment.I will begin my research with the Neo Classical period which can be traced fromapproximately 1750 to 1850. Neo Classicism became the first international style,influencing design from St Petersburg to Virginia, and strongly influencing the modernmovement, both intellectually and visually.It was inspired by the recent archaeological discoveries in Greece and Rome, by the rational ideasof the Enlightenment and the resulting notions of 'apparent utility' developed by Laugier, and therejection of Baroque and Rococo forms in favour of simple geometrics, largely rectilinear shapesderived from antique sources.Fontana dictionary of Modern ThoughtI am particularly attracted to Biedermeier furniture, with its simple lines and pureforms. The technical and design brilliance of this furniture are apparent by both thevisual ease of the forms and the ease with which this furniture can be incorporatedinto a diverse range of interiors.Within this century large developments have been made in the area of consumerdesign. Furniture design however, has suffered at the hands of economic rationalism,with a design mindset devoid of organic flowing forms. It is emotionless - lacking aconnection with human qualities that give furniture a presence and soul in an environment. A cultural void has been created with contempory furniture 'design' theexclusive domain of 'designer set' clientele. Very little of contempory design advancesfilter through to the masses.I believe the 90's to be a time to challenge many thoughts and ideas that the 20thcentury has created.from past generations the moderns have inherited two things, as Hugo vonHofmansthal observed: fine antique furniture and hypersensitive nerves. In furniturethere is all that draws us to the past and in our nerves the drama of the presentsdoubts.THE HISTORY OF INTERIOR DECORATIONBY MARIO PRAZPUBLISHED THAMES & HUDSONMy research may take me into the abstract allowing me the freedom to create designsfrom a variety of sources, whether that be in response to a feeling, the use ofmaterials, or from some attention to detail. My work will reflect the summary of myinvestigations within a contempory cultural context which incorporates our way oflife, values, customs, beliefs and living conditions." @default.
