A Study on the characteristics of Interior Design in De Stijl |
| Abstract |
In terms of modern design history, De Stijl movement had continued as one of influential groups by 1931, and it attempted to pursue universial reality that combined painting and architecture, seeking a new style based on Neo-Plasticism and succeeded the nineteen century s Art and Craft movement and Art Nouveau. Especially, the De Stijl movement provided 1920s rationalism with new space pattern and its ideas greatly affected the Bauhaus movement such as Walter Gropius or Mies van der Rohe. De Stijl s utopian idea that claimed on the conformity of art and life contributed modernism movement combined with scientific and rational view, and even now exerts its lasting power with the concept of time and space free from simple cube in modern architecture and interior design. The true meaning of the De Stijl movement is that it is the basis of general ideas, and the change of modern architecture is based on this modern styled foundation. It may be the unchangeable fact like Russell Hitchcok says,“The architectural style and pattern which everyone admitts its importance has the value of living.” |
