Modernist furniture refers to pieces designed according to early-to-mid 20th century principles emphasizing function, clean lines, and industrial materials.
Designers like Eames, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier created iconic works featuring bent plywood, tubular steel, and molded plastic.
The style rejected ornament in favor of simple geometric forms: The Barcelona chair is quintessential modernist furniture.
Now often called mid-century modern when marketed as vintage or reproduction.
