Modernity and modesty 1994

Volume broché, dos carré
Format 16,5 x 24 cm


The European furniture salons are all reflecting a change in direction: design in the nineties will see a return to restraint. The excesses of previous decades, the ideological and technical overstatements of the post-war period and the formal excesses of the eighties will be steered clear of. Andreas Brandolini, one of the leaders of the Berlin avant-garde, encourages his students to look for their inspiration in everyday life, to seek human contact, to go to supermarkets and local shops
