IKEA: inspired by the 20th century

Inspiration Source

 IKEA has launched its new collection being inspired by the golden age of the previous century. It has presented classic design objects continuing to amaze clients with its trendy ideas. The new collection is like a guide who make you acquainted with all the tendencies from the 20th century. 

 CABINET

     The wooden furniture is absolutely devoid of any personal traits. Simple shapes allow to emphasize the stream of traditionalism and cultural traits.
     Cabinet is said to be the central object of the whole line. it possesses all the functional traits, but is painted with outstandingly bright color. Such technique is characteristic of Danish Modern School. Such items can be seen starting from the 20's of the 20th century. The absence of table legs shows some layering of the later period of functionalism.

GLASS TIME

     

     Another interesting point in the new collection is a case with glass shelves. It makes the impression of something light consisting mainly of glass. On the other hand, there is a controversial part. We see that the base of an object is quite 'monumental', like the one in classic cabinets from the late Ar-deco and the Avant garde, while the construction itself is 'windy', like light bright framing from the very late Post-Modernism. Interesting experiment, indeed.

EGGISH

     Too traditional to be modern and too modern to be traditional. The form of this armchair is alike with the ones from the late the Avant garde and classic English arm chair from the middle of 18th century.
     
     In the whole collection we can see trying to find something personal on the grounds of popular culture through thorough analysis of cultural development of the interior design industry. In the meanwhile, it's like an attempt to show that the ability to lead experiments is still active in such a great manufacturer as IKEA. I guess that all the ways of decoration will be suitable for all art lovers.

 

Lasting Easter.

     Our family has a tradition to Easter eggs together. Preparations begin far in advance before the fest, since children are really crazy about it. We buy dyes, sticks, some nice details, such as little flowers, beeds, etc. I don't want boasting, but I have to admit that with the course of time we've greatly developed our talents in it to such an extent, that our eggs can be used for decoration.

     Really, I do like some personal interior designs with something which cannot be found anywhere else. Therefore, I always decorate our house with unique things which are hand-made. Several years ago, one interesting thought crossed my mind: why not to try to use our Easter masterpieces to brighten up the house. Moreover, they have another substantial benefit: they can be changed with new ones each year.
To put it short, I bought several big glass vases without any ornaments, so that it can be transparent enough to show everybody our great creations.
                                          
     It wasn't though the end of my inventions. Another year, I decided to make a little tree of the eggs. I've bought a big brown stick in the decoration shop and attached little wires to it on which eggs were fastened. It was our Easter tree.
     I haven't got any plans for the upcoming Easter yet, but I hope that with the atmosphere which will be reign soon I'll manage to make something up.
