From Baroque to Rococo up to Empire and Art Deco, it returns to the trends that have shaped furniture design from the 16th century to the present day. If you are looking for indoor or outdoor furniture and need to evaluate whether it fits your space, it will not be easy to grasp the era of one style or another. To understand its meaning, here is the history of the periods that marked design.
The word Renaissance means rebirth and is a term that brings back the interest of that time towards classical antiquity. The decor of this period is architectural, designed on the foundations of a building. For example, the wardrobe and the bed are the most popular complements, determined by the workmanship of the inlay. Renaissance furnishings focus on chests, chests and sideboards
The Baroque style consisted of heavy use of high-quality solid woods such as solid wood. We often find them in the homes of aristocratic families finished with bright colors and gilding which were a Franco-Italian characteristic. The term baroque, or barroco in Portuguese, began to be used as a synonym for exaggerated, peculiar. The Baroque style gives way to minimal furniture, characterized by a Dutch and English style and design. The long case clock and writing desks were widely used. Local woods such as elm or alder root were used to cover them. In the late Baroque period, Queen Anne style furniture featured padded cabriole legs and curved lines. This style influenced the trends of the following centuries.
Rococo flourished throughout Europe due to the massive imports of French decorative art. The inspiration for the decor was determined to depict nature itself and a strong trend for the use of soft colors developed. Rococo still expressed the stylistic traits of Baroque, but with some asymmetrical elements. During this period, furniture and decorative arts evolved, making furnishings practical and elegant. The word rococo deriving from the French rocaille, that is, a decoration made with rocks, stones or shells.
The Georgian style became a must for British furnishings throughout the 18th century. This style was characterized by the use of mahogany, a strong wood that gives the products a regal appearance. Thomas Chippendale was one of Britain's leading Georgian designers and his designs and pieces sold at auction for millions.
Neoclassicism was inspired by Greek and Roman antiquity and became known in the mid-18th century, drawing attention to the Enlightenment. The neoclassical design was symmetrical, with details such as the tapered and fluted legs of the tables or the spiral arms for the chairs. The Louis style of the neoclassical period was also inspired by the philosophy of the time and the style of Ancient Rome.
The Empire style embodies the Napoleonic ideal, whose inspiration comes from classical antiquity in countries such as Greece, Etruria, Rome, and even Egypt. The furniture was made of mahogany characterized by golden structures with symbolic motifs. It was richly decorated compared to previous eras.
New Style is the name that embraces 19th century styles based on decorative elements from previous eras. Industrialization brought the vast production of furniture and objects in enormous quantities. Neo-Gothic was the oldest of the new styles, while Neo-Rococo, with its richly inlaid mahogany furniture, was the most popular. With the appearance of the upholstered style, with large amounts of soft furnishings and upholstered furniture.
Art Nouveau was born in Great Britain in 1890 and spread to Europe and even the United States until the First World War. This style was characterized by soft designs that reflected the shapes of nature. He took inspiration from Japanese art, for example jewelery changed from precious gems to materials such as opal and ivory, while furniture became more expensive to produce. The movement is reflected by crystals and glass, with colors and transparencies with bold shapes.
Art Deco comes from the French expression art decoratif, a style much loved in the 1920s. Art Deco combines functionality using artistic design. The design reflects modern life with sophistication and luxury. The style is characterized by lacquered surfaces and an emphasis on bright colors.
Modernism in design is characterized by geometric and minimal shapes with the absence of decorations, but characterized by smooth surfaces to put form and function at the center of attention. The furniture is made of steel and bent wood and black was the most popular color.
The term Scandinavian Design was born in the 1950s. An innovative and highly successful period of Swedish design. In Scandinavia, the Danes dominated furniture manufacturing while the Swedes were ahead in glass and ceramics. The furniture used a minimal design and was made of teak. New materials and techniques have given life to a characteristic design sought after by architects and interior designers to furnish Nordic and very refined environments.
