    MODERNISM
    (1970-2000)
    2

    INTRODUCTION

    Postmodernism is a period that marked the European movement of art,


    philosophy, movement, and architecture in the last few years of the
    twentieth century. Postmodern art essentially made its mark in the
    second half of the twentieth century. It also highlights some parts of art
    and the style of thinking in this period.

    Postmodern furniture was light-hearted and whimsical, meaning that


    the designers looked for form over functionality in their work to match
    the new postmodernist movement. Their idea was that after
    revolutionizing art and architecture, it was only fair that the couch
    matched the new era.

    POSTMODERN
    FURNITURE HISTORY
    The creation and adoption of the postmodern style in design
    developed due to the growing popularity of postmodernism in
    other areas such as literature, art, and architecture. From the
    beginning of the 1960s to the 1980s, an increasing movement
    opposed the modernist movement that dwelled on the simplicity of
    the form. The postmodern designers were more daring and
    explored new textures, colors, and aesthetics.
    Unlike the modern designers that looked for inspiration from
    architecture and art, their postmodern counterparts, including the
    furniture designers, got inspiration from pop culture, primarily
    magazines and comic books. Even though the postmodern
    movement first originated in the United States, postmodern
    furniture developed in Milan, Italy. Between the late 1970s and
    1980s, many designers visited the city to look into this postmodern
    concept to create their furniture designs. The two most famous
    designer groups were the Alchimia Studio and The Memphis Group.

    traditional and modernist styles.

    like wood, steel, and glass were common, and designs were influenced
    by the Bauhaus movement and Scandinavian design.
