My favorite modern design websites to shop
As you know, I love modern design and I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite places to shop online for modern design items for my home, cards and even dog accessories.
Modern design can get confused with Contemporary design but they are different.
Modern Design using very clean simple lines, geometric patterns, using the idea of less is more, and use of nature materials like teak and leather. It was created in the 1950's in German when the Bauhaus school of design started. (I will post more about design style history in the future). Modern design spaces are typically neutral with splashes of color. It has more of a retro look and feel to it.
Contemporary design using lots of curves, it is very playful using lots of reflective materials, unusual colors, and asymmetrical patterns. It was created in the 1960's & 70's as part of the post modernism movement and it strong today.
