The Aesthetic of Modern Design

Modern design arose in the early 20th century as a reaction against the ornate and heavily embellished styles that had dominated previous eras. The movement sought to emphasize efficiency, simplicity, and the beauty of simple lines. This philosophy gave birth to a new type of furniture, where the focus was on creating pieces that were both functional and beautiful. The aesthetic that clean lines create is one of elegance and sophistication. The simplicity of form makes a sense of order and balance, while the absence of ornamentation emphasizes the inherent beauty of the materials themselves. The result is a sense of understated luxury. STATERA COLLECTION An ode to modern design, the Statera Collection features an earthy color palette, rich in hues inspired by nature itself. Ceramic table tops uplift rather simple lines. Statera is latin for balance, precisely the inspiration behind these designs. The collection is focused on functionality and simplicity, with a minimal structure.
