Designing at the turn
of the century is characterized by the relationship human-machine. The
artists start collaborating with the industries and becomes designers.
The modern designers now leave the jugend-style.
Adolf Loos, one of
the great opponents of jugend writes: "Don´t cry. It is the grandeur of
our time not to bring forth ornaments. When ornaments no longer stick
together with our culture, it no longer gives expression for our culture".
My inspiration from
the first decade of the twentieth century is mainly to be found with the
designers Frank Lloyd Wright, Josef Hoffmann and Charles Rennié Mackintosh.
Their simple geometrical forms have a beutiful graphic expression.
