De Stijl

For this style, it required visual art. In this style, they only required only primary colours (Red, Blu and yellow.) Black, white and Grey were the colours that were accepted. The lines were importuned that all of them be straight and always a right angle.

This is a few example of Destijl furniture. De Stijl  was that style that tried to invent the final design object that follows the complex an ideal of plane geometric forms. Gerrit Rietveld designed a chair called

"the Red and Blue Chair". The chair was first designed in 1918. This was one of the early  style of the current aesthetic. As you can see its made out of wood and it doesn't include variety o material. There are allot of  straight lines and angles. This chair was influenced by fine arts because as you look at it, the 1920s like an abstract sculpture made by Piet Mondrian. we see the three elements of primary colours (the blue, red and yellow on the corners)

This design wanted to give the message that something that is popular it doesn't mean it has to be complex and infect this design is simple and without the use of mechanisation. This chair had problems for acceptance. Rietveld said that normally he sold these chair to friends that who doesn't afford furniture.  in 1920s, the chair was shown in public at the exhibition in Haarlem their words were that it looked odd and funny. some people as they look at the chair they say that it doesn't look comfortable but it's the opposite around it's a comfortable piece of furniture. This chair now we see a few at museums and others are in private

As I kept looking at the chair, It reminded me of another chair. the Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer. They look similar because of their angle. when they are seen from a side they have approximately the same form. 

influences.

This band consists of two members. These are The White Stripes and they created an album called De Stijl in 2000, which simulate the style on the cover. they used a rectangle shape Like De Stijl style, Although they didn't use all the primary colours just white, red and black. But as you look at it, it automatically reminds you of De Stijl. 

Then we have another influence of De Stijl.  Nick is reflecting Mondrian style trainers. He used the element colours of De Stile white, red, blue, yellow and black.

De Stijl style was an impact on fashion.

In our exhibition of last year, it had an element of de style. The rectangular  grey and white steps. The element of red on the wall. Although The influence was coming from Bauhouse but it gave me the feel of De Stijl too.
