Modern Furniture reflects the design philosophy of form following function prevalent in modernism. These designs represent the ideals of cutting excess, practicality and an absence of decoration.
The forms of furniture are visually light (like in the use of polished metal and engineered wood) and follow minimalist principles of design which are influenced by architectural concepts like the cantilever. Modern furniture fits best in open floor plans with clean lines that thrive in the absence of clutter.
