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.
