Around 1900 a new era of design came to surface focusing on the the contributions made by the Art Nouveau and Prairie styles. The technological advances of this time such as skyscrapers, movie pictures, and transportation lead to many more needs for the design world. This direction of new design was lead by architects such as Frank Loyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. With these new types of architecture from these contributors, spaces like offices and other commercial spaces started to become part of the design focus.
Of course, this also meant many advances in furniture and materials. This modernism movement lead to more geometric and manufactures furniture. Clean lines rather than curvilinear designs became more common in the office and at home. Art and textiles also became more geometric, but kept a watercolor effect. Many pieces includes squares and triangles but kept a decent amount of inspiration from previous movements like Art Nouveau.
