Can we start a go fund me? I know of course there are a lot of worthy causes out there right now but I want Nick to have a holiday and find some products I can actually buy
Hi Nick, I know you often joke about your audience demographics, but I'm a guy doing a DIY renovation of an entire home, and trying my hand at design as well. Your videos are invaluable, especially these ones. Thanks for making these 👍
Hey Nick Been following you for a while Love your sense humour Being a west girl from the Vancouver Island and moved to the east I been living and designing the “ Modern Organic” for years and recently carried in our new home So I definitely not call it it a TREND To me It’s a LIVE STYLE 🤷🏾♀️❤ 🇨🇦
@Nick_Lewis You have a great magnetism that I think draws a huge range of masculine/feminine energies. Here for both the content and your foundational respectful kindness with a touch of snark delivery!
@tanyalong749 I hear you! I would add to that my irritation when people use MCM for anything vintage. “No Lisa, that 2001 IKEA side chair that you are selling on Marketplace is not in fact MCM”
I recently moved into my first apartment in over a decade, having lived with a controlling ex-partner and then with my parents post-divorce. Your videos have been super helpful as I slowly build a space that feels calm, safe, and cozy. Thank you so much for the inspiration and guidance!
My husband and I built a house in the woods a couple of years ago and this organic modern is as close to my style as any I’ve seen. Except that I have a slightly more colorful version. Maybe slightly deeper shades of moss green, brown, gold, and so on. but lots of natural materials. Stained trim and solid wood doors, bamboo flooring, granite counter, stone fireplace with a rough wood mantle, pebble floor in the shower, an old barn wood dining room table, lots of matte black metal, real plants. No faux anything. Decorations also related to nature, like bird nests, an undyed wool tapestry, turtle shells, wooden things, pottery, and irregular shapes. And a mix of more modern furniture and antiques. Every room has big windows so that everywhere you look is nature. So I feel like my version of the organic modern style goes well with that. (My son calls my style “obnoxious modern hippie.”) Thanks for covering this style!
Sounds great! I never live in cities, and to me natures sunrises and sunsets are full of colour, and then there’s the birds! Enjoy your bit of heaven 👍
I second your sentiment, Organic Modern is here to stay! 💚🌿It’s so much like living near a peaceful stream, with some greenery, I feel like this design style (while not everyone’s cup of tea) represents something our souls innately crave in our sometimes hollow plastic digitized world.
I don't think I could live in an all beige/white home. Bold, bright colours make me happier. However, I do love the organic part. Love wood, stone, plants, ceramic pots/vases, brick walls. Sorry Nick, I love the jungle look!!! Plants are living art and require light. Having large windows contribute to positive health vibes. I can still appreciate those who love the organic modern style. Thanks for another great informative video!!! 💚
No need to apologize. I just think he's trying to educate us on the common elements of the style. I couldn't live in a home without a lot of family photos on the walls. I need to see pictures of my kids when they were young and the artwork they did. I need to see photos of relatives long since gone. I try to convert a lot of them to black and white and use black and white frames and matting for cohesion. It makes it a challenge to use some of these minimalist designs, but that's what I need to look at day to day. Do what makes you happy and who cares what anyone else thinks.
As I watched this video, I looked around as, one by one, everything I own was mentioned and every guideline was met. Guess I found my style! Mine is a mix of a couple bought pieces, a few family heirlooms, thrifted, traded, auction purchases and even a trade or two. Love the style and love Nick’s wonderful witty comments.
oooh that's what that style is called! ive seen it mixed with mid century-ish styles a lot recently, it looks stunning. although in it's 'pure', completely organic beige-y form i feel like it doesnt work in every space, i really love the concept. it always kind of feels like a spa moment to me. mix in unexpected anorganic shapes, styles and colors for a pop of contrast and boom! absolute goodness.
i feel like this video was made for me because this style is EXACTLY what i want to furnish my new place with. i just didnt know it had a name. i was like i just want comfy relaxing furnature and colors. and this was exactly it 🤣
We have a college of craft, art and design nearby and I asked some beginner potters if I could buy their « practice » pieces. They were more than happy to sell them to me at a great price! They are imperfect perfection! Just what I wanted. :)
This is THE most ‘unoffensive-to-anyone’ decor I have ever seen. No one can possibly hate this. Even the people bored by it, just put their favorite music on and they’ll feel fine, lol.
Sort of psychiatric clinic therapeutic style. For those trying to lower their blood pressure without medication? I would guess people with already low blood pressure might prefer not to come home and immediately fall asleep. :) (Power ballads don't seem to go with this.) It's a softer form of all white. It seems to have nothing distinctive of its own. Every part is already in other styles.
I love this channel : beautiful bundle of sass and education! It is so clear that Nick enjoys sharing his knowledge! It's so inspiring and the content , I believe, is so informative. Thank you 🙏
This is an excellent and informative video. I really like the format. I do think your critique of too many plants may be missing the point. A lot of the people who have hundreds of plants want their home to look like a jungle, it’s intentionally done for a jungle aesthetic. It’s not only a design choice, indoor gardening is a hobby, people have many plants because the care of them provides meaningful recreational activity.
Love this style. It's hard not to fall into a more "rustic" look (like you made a fort in the woods) when you're looking at natural materials, and keep to the modern side of things. I look forward to your videos, Nick✌
Thanks Nick! Think I'll call my design style Eclectic Organic Modern. Everything in my home has that 'natural' feel - real wood, natural fabrics and plants .... great call. Thanks for explaining this style.
This is as close to my personal style as it gets! ❤ I can't imagine anything more sophisticated. I absolutely love natural materials, earthy tones and greenery mixed with timeless mid-century furniture. Our bathrooms are wabi-sabi-leaning with travertine and neutral colour palette + black chrome. Our kitchen is a bit more vibrant because of natural stone (Roma Imperiale quartzite) with intense, brown and teracota veins. We paired it with off-white and wooden cabinets. We put natural stone and wood everywhere we could, which makes this style pretty expensive. After living in an apartment filled with random furniture and statement turquoise walls, our new house feels like heaven.
OK, this video is ABOVE AND BEYOND. Thank you so much for the information, the visuals, the reasons, your delivery, and you even gave suggestion where to shop?! You're amazing. I've become a true fan of you and your videos. Thank you!
OMG. You nailed it. I have been trying to determine ‘my’ style when planning to decorate my new house and I have screenshot several of these images. Perfect ! Thank you so much. I unfortunately (for retailers) now live in France and reminisce about being able to source great design and a variety of price points in the US but that is the way life is.
I am slowing redoing my home to look like these pictures...and I didn't even know it had a name! I just like neutrals, textures, wood, stone, etc. I always learn SO much watching your videos, (when I am not pausing them to dry my eyes because I am laughing so hard at your sass).
Denmark here🇩🇰 Often, when I watch your videoes, I sense that the average canadian home leans to the scandinavian style, or am I wrong? I wonder what the average american home looks like? I admit, that I have prejudices, like who wraps their couch in clingfilm?🤔 The danish interior design, to me at least, is just the way we live. Modern, light, organic, with plants and curves. Not 100% since the classics like Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen or Verner Panton are expensive. But the style or vibe can be made with other, not so expensive things. And good furnitures can stay in families for generations. When I was younger, I saved for years to buy my first Verner Pantom lampe, called the Globe. And I still have it, 30 years later❤ Maybe do a video on scandinavian lamps or the many wodden figures from Kay Bojesen🙏They are danish style icons, known worldwide. The famous monkey was designed back in 1919 and is still popular and affordable👍
I call this dry organic modern. I live in lush Minnesota where forests are verdant vibrant greens, the sky is bright blue, soil a rich dark brown, and fall golden and red. The colors of this dry organic modern style are sad, parched, and leave me thirsty. Just a suggestion - Room and Board has some great furniture that might work with this style - a bit expensive but the well crafted and made to last. (I don’t work for them just like their stuff.)
This sort of colour style comes from Japan, which is most certainly not a dry or colourless place to live. But the colours either are, or at least imitate, organic dyes, and those tend to have muted hues, especially when aiming for humble, rather than opulent aesthetic. In Japanese interior design the nature itself provides the bright backdrop, and the interior doesn't try to compete with it.
I live in Mn as well. I use woods, greens with pops of color that move and change just like the flowers that come and go. The naturals of this style are nice, but I appreciate more of a full nature palette.
yes! i would like this but if it was more verdant organic modern, and maybe with a few small accent colours - eg very bright pink/fuschia, or bright cobalt blue
Hey Nick, in case you read this, we just bought a house with a windowless bathroom and I figured how to deal with that might be an interesting topic for a future video. A lot of apartments have these and they are very hard to design well so that people like spending time in there. Anyway, have a nice week. :)
I love this style. I do have too many very large plants but I have tall ceilings and a large, sunny open main living area. I’ve used desaturated bold colors and it really adds to the interest of the room. I do love texture. All great tips Nick, thanks!❤
Organic modern would be my inspiration but I love color too much to actually do it. I use wood, marble, wool, cotton, linen and leather for my main materials and play with a peacock colored palette adding glass and microfiber velvet for its softness durability.
For about the last fifteen+ years, I've described my style as organic modern (and sometimes organic modern-industrial) because I didn't know how else to describe my style. So, thank you, Nick, for making me feel legit. I would never have known it's now a thing if I hadn't tripped across your channel.
Thank you Nick for the Sundays recommendation you gave in one of the previous videos! I got the dining table and bench from them and they are perfect. Gorgeous, great quality and craftsmanship. I love them! Company’s customer support is also top notch. Overall great experience
Very informative and educational regarding design terminology. For me, adding some pale blues and greens would make this design a little beachy and heavenly.
I just love organic modern style.. and you explained it so well 👍🏼😉 I live in Denmark so I’ve always had a sort of scandi minimalistic style, and the older I get the more I use organic, natural materials.. also now I can better afford it 😆 Anyway, thanks Nick! 👏🏼🥰
Nick, I was just considering buying something off of Amazon, but then I heard you start roasting me inside my head and I decided against it 😅 I think it was definitely for the better though so thank you! 😂
I haven't heard this style called Organic Modern before, but I have seen this type of interior for decades in Scandinavia and parts of Europe. Many of my parent's (young boomers) friends would go for this style. This was of course for people with good income. My parents have some organic pieces, but their two homes are a mishmash of everything, the curse of generational home. I'm doing some changes in my apartment, I'm going for an industrial style, one wall is concrete. Watching this video gave me some ideas for wall colours. Since Industrial isn't for everyone I've been worrying about what to do if I one day have to sell the apartment. Muted greens and blues might work instead of the more typical black.
I love "the curse of the generational home", it's my style. I have stuff from two or three generations ago and it makes me feel grounded. I'm sitting at a table that I've known all my life in my grandmother's house and then my mother's house. I also have new furniture mostly made to commission by a local craftsman. If everything is of the same defined style it can be a bit matchy-matchy for my taste.
I always look forward to your videos on Saturdays. I l really enjoy your honesty and the fact that you get straight to the point, no apologies. As a native New Yorker, Brooklyn to be exact, I very much gel with that. You are funny and clever and make me laugh and giggle a few times while watching. Thanks for the decor advice and insight, as well as the entertainment. I would totally have you as my bestie if we knew each tiger, lol. All my best 👋🏻
I am so thankful that I found your videos last month. I wanted to actually design my bedroom remodel instead of just throwing paint on the walls. I watched all your bedroom design videos. This video was perfectly timed because I went with a neutral paint color and this gives me more ideas. Thank you so much! ❤
I am ever so appreciative that you break this style down to its basic elements. It makes it so clear and easy to imagine my own space in this style. Many thanks!
This is THE BEST explanation and break down of organic modern I've seen. I am renovating a cottage in the hillside and I wanted to do it in the Organic Modern style and your video is a great source to start from. Love your work and wit!
I would love a video likes this about moody japandi!! You mentioned it once in a video and provided a couple reference photos, and they were stunning, but I’m having serious trouble with merging together the ideas of moody and japandi, and I can’t find many other references online
this is a literal godsent video because i just realized this is what i'm doing. now that i know this is what i started, i know how to finish it! thank you, nick!
This is hands-down, the most informative design video I've seen. I love organic modern, but didn't know the guidelines for it (like the unique shapes and such). Thank you for all the great info!
This might be one of your best videos in my opinion. Very well structured and great examples throughout. Thank you, me and my wife are starting the Sundays with your latest upload 😊 is part of the weekend routine now.
So happy you made a video dedicated to organic modern! Along with Japandi/wabi-sabi, which have similar elements, this is one of my favorite styles of design. I understand why some individuals may find it "dull and boring", but I love the serene, spa-like vibes.
I love this style! I still hold onto that griege everywhere preference even though the world has moved on, I love keeping things simple and clean and add interest with organic shapes etc. Love these styles videos Nick, you always do a great iob on them
Thanks for actually explaining what organic modern is. Every time I see it on pinterest it seems like all anyone picks out is bean shaped sofas and brown dead plants
Thank you so much for the color wheel lesson. That was the best & most important part of this video for me. I appreciate that you included that information.
We are building an earth covered dome home next year and we are doing an organic modern design with a desert color palette. Sages, terracota, dusty blue, creams and sandstones , different wood tones and bronze and aged brass. Lots of texture in the fabrics and furniture, mirroring the curve of the ceilings in the lighting and furniture, mirrors etc.
Nick, I love your videos. Even though this is 180 degrees from my style (ok maybe 160 degrees...) I love watching at least parts of these because I think it's always helpful to educate yourself on different style themes so at least if you need to pick things out for yourself or someone else, you can make better choices. Best of luck on your new home as well!
I love this style! But I would tweak it to suit me - hang a picture with a bright flower, maybe even pink. I would also buy some brightly colored pillows XD Thanks for the review, Nick!
My condo was made in the 70s and I made it organic modern with 70s vibe and a bit of eclectic French accents. I feel organic modern mixes very well with a lot of styles.
Weird how trends repeat. This was my exact design style in the late 90s. All natural elements, curvy lines, I tried hard to incorporate water/fire/earth/air inspirations. Love seeing it come back into style now.
Great explanation of this style, it helped me to find out where I really stand! Thanks so much! I am very much tempted by organic modern because I love using organic materials, but I see now that I need more contrast and probably colour than offered by this style.
Wow! We have recently moved to a new place, and it has some furniture from the previous owner, which is darker, but leather, glass, stone. I like accents and scandi, but couldn't understand why I am now leaning towards buying natural-material (wooden, stone) shelves, more plants, etc. Besides trying to be more sustainable, I now know that this is my style, I am just trying to match what I like to the existing furnishings that I am starting to like, too, thank you!! I really can understand why and what exactly I can shop around for!
Great video. This is totally me with a dash of Japandi. I'm working on curating my home and editing the things I have and making decisions slowly so I don't buy a bunch of crap.
Love the maroon/reddish-brown/whatever, shirt....great with your coloring. My style is curated and eclectic, collected for 8 decades. Like your videos!
Love your videos! I was very happy to hear you discuss the difference between Contemporary and Modern. I'd love to see a video about early Modern design of the 1920s +... think the Barcelona chair, buildings (and furniture) by Rietveld, the Bauhaus, plus all sorts of post-WWI designs. Clean lines, minimalism, right angles, machine made/industrial items, etc. These must surely have influenced the MCM artists, designers, and architects?

@@pjalexandra And how would you define it? Seems simply like Nick, to me.

that would be such an amazing project. i am not in europe but would love to see what your shops have to offer.
Yes!🦖🩷🦕🧡🫐

"Sometimes it can look a bit like a jungle." - shows a clip from The Jungle Haven 😁
Thrift solid wood pieces - strip/sand to bare wood and then just wax them, the lighter color makes it visually not so heavy.
Love this style. It's hard not to fall into a more "rustic" look (like you made a fort in the woods) when you're looking at natural materials, and keep to the modern side of things. I look forward to your videos, Nick✌
Buy local from local artists. It’s beautiful and unique not like every other piece in a chain store.
If you can afford it.
If its good. Buy local. But only if it is actually well done not just because

Anyway, have a nice week. :)
Organic Modern is probably my favorite mix of styles! TY for sharing this

I bought fable dishes that Nick recommended. They are beautiful and earthy. The perfect vibe for my family. I love Nicks videos and perspective. ❤
Nick, your space could use a plant or two ❤
I think the apartment was Edited for REAL ESTATE purposes.
I killed them all. I have a new plant that I received as a housewarming present though! I'l try my best.
@@Nick_Lewis I have faith in you 😘🌹
He just bought a house and is moving .
Aloe plants seem to survive the most neglect. I had one for two years and I barely ever water it.
Organic modern would be my inspiration but I love color too much to actually do it. I use wood, marble, wool, cotton, linen and leather for my main materials and play with a peacock colored palette adding glass and microfiber velvet for its softness durability.
Sounds nice!
@@juliemarkham4332 thanks
This is a very appealing design. I like the use of natural materials. It reminds me of craftsman style but without the edges. Well done!
For Aussie peeps, you can get some decor pieces that fit at Kmart, including real marble and you'll find the furniture at Temple and Webster.
Kmart is definitely in this era/style right now
Kmart is great! And they keep changing/updating their range.
This is me, so now I understand what I like. Thank you Nick ❤
Thanks Nick! I would love a video about Italian modern design.
For about the last fifteen+ years, I've described my style as organic modern (and sometimes organic modern-industrial) because I didn't know how else to describe my style. So, thank you, Nick, for making me feel legit. I would never have known it's now a thing if I hadn't tripped across your channel.
Exactly, once more: exactly what I needed ❤❤ Thank you Nick!
With this palette, a clean Amano style aquarium becomes a small oasis in the desert. Nice sturdy modern piece as a stand.
Thanks for video!
Thank you Nick for the Sundays recommendation you gave in one of the previous videos! I got the dining table and bench from them and they are perfect. Gorgeous, great quality and craftsmanship. I love them! Company’s customer support is also top notch. Overall great experience
Love Sundays!
Very informative and educational regarding design terminology. For me, adding some pale blues and greens would make this design a little beachy and heavenly.
I just love organic modern style.. and you explained it so well 👍🏼😉 I live in Denmark so I’ve always had a sort of scandi minimalistic style, and the older I get the more I use organic, natural materials.. also now I can better afford it 😆 Anyway, thanks Nick! 👏🏼🥰
You are my bagel to my coffee. My morning coffee at my work desk is incomplete without watching your vids! :)
Thanks for covering this lovely style!
This is my style and you described in perfectly for 2024.
Nick, I was just considering buying something off of Amazon, but then I heard you start roasting me inside my head and I decided against it 😅 I think it was definitely for the better though so thank you! 😂
I like the crazy plant lady style. Which is organic modern except with way more plants.😂
I haven't heard this style called Organic Modern before, but I have seen this type of interior for decades in Scandinavia and parts of Europe. Many of my parent's (young boomers) friends would go for this style. This was of course for people with good income. My parents have some organic pieces, but their two homes are a mishmash of everything, the curse of generational home.
I'm doing some changes in my apartment, I'm going for an industrial style, one wall is concrete. Watching this video gave me some ideas for wall colours. Since Industrial isn't for everyone I've been worrying about what to do if I one day have to sell the apartment. Muted greens and blues might work instead of the more typical black.
I love "the curse of the generational home", it's my style. I have stuff from two or three generations ago and it makes me feel grounded. I'm sitting at a table that I've known all my life in my grandmother's house and then my mother's house. I also have new furniture mostly made to commission by a local craftsman.
If everything is of the same defined style it can be a bit matchy-matchy for my taste.
I always look forward to your videos on Saturdays. I l really enjoy your honesty and the fact that you get straight to the point, no apologies. As a native New Yorker, Brooklyn to be exact, I very much gel with that. You are funny and clever and make me laugh and giggle a few times while watching. Thanks for the decor advice and insight, as well as the entertainment. I would totally have you as my bestie if we knew each tiger, lol. All my best 👋🏻
Always learn something from Nick. Love your style.. don't change a thing
Always enjoy your videos!
Would also live to see you do a video on the arts and crafts style as it is one of my favorites.
I'm dying to know your thoughts on how to tastefully execute "maximalism"
Didn't he make a video about it already?
I am so thankful that I found your videos last month. I wanted to actually design my bedroom remodel instead of just throwing paint on the walls. I watched all your bedroom design videos. This video was perfectly timed because I went with a neutral paint color and this gives me more ideas. Thank you so much! ❤
I am ever so appreciative that you break this style down to its basic elements. It makes it so clear and easy to imagine my own space in this style. Many thanks!
This is THE BEST explanation and break down of organic modern I've seen. I am renovating a cottage in the hillside and I wanted to do it in the Organic Modern style and your video is a great source to start from. Love your work and wit!
I would love a video likes this about moody japandi!! You mentioned it once in a video and provided a couple reference photos, and they were stunning, but I’m having serious trouble with merging together the ideas of moody and japandi, and I can’t find many other references online
this is a literal godsent video because i just realized this is what i'm doing. now that i know this is what i started, i know how to finish it! thank you, nick!
This is hands-down, the most informative design video I've seen. I love organic modern, but didn't know the guidelines for it (like the unique shapes and such). Thank you for all the great info!
Today was serious Nick, but equally as endearing; over a half million people just like you
This might be one of your best videos in my opinion. Very well structured and great examples throughout.
Thank you, me and my wife are starting the Sundays with your latest upload 😊 is part of the weekend routine now.
A little bit of #SadBeigeMom vibes😉, but it does look peaceful.
So happy you made a video dedicated to organic modern! Along with Japandi/wabi-sabi, which have similar elements, this is one of my favorite styles of design. I understand why some individuals may find it "dull and boring", but I love the serene, spa-like vibes.
I love this style! I still hold onto that griege everywhere preference even though the world has moved on, I love keeping things simple and clean and add interest with organic shapes etc. Love these styles videos Nick, you always do a great iob on them
Thanks for actually explaining what organic modern is. Every time I see it on pinterest it seems like all anyone picks out is bean shaped sofas and brown dead plants
Back from vacation and excited to catch up on Nick Lewis vids!!
I really appreciate your insight on design. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the color wheel lesson. That was the best & most important part of this video for me. I appreciate that you included that information.
We are building an earth covered dome home next year and we are doing an organic modern design with a desert color palette. Sages, terracota, dusty blue, creams and sandstones , different wood tones and bronze and aged brass. Lots of texture in the fabrics and furniture, mirroring the curve of the ceilings in the lighting and furniture, mirrors etc.
I do organic vintage. Kind of broadens choices& w cohesive tones/colors/textures everything comes together.
Nick, I love your videos. Even though this is 180 degrees from my style (ok maybe 160 degrees...) I love watching at least parts of these because I think it's always helpful to educate yourself on different style themes so at least if you need to pick things out for yourself or someone else, you can make better choices. Best of luck on your new home as well!
Style is for me for sure. I love, traditional, handcrafted, wood and stone and natural products cotton, but I do like that modern look
Today I learned the name of my style 😮
I love this style! But I would tweak it to suit me - hang a picture with a bright flower, maybe even pink. I would also buy some brightly colored pillows XD Thanks for the review, Nick!
This is exactly what I needed!
I love this decor style to look at! It feels so warm and inviting. I won’t do it myself because it’s too boring for me personally. But it is gorgeous!
My condo was made in the 70s and I made it organic modern with 70s vibe and a bit of eclectic French accents. I feel organic modern mixes very well with a lot of styles.
I really like this, but with a touch of Marimekko😊
Crate and Barrel - "can't find a color to save your life" 😂
Weird how trends repeat. This was my exact design style in the late 90s. All natural elements, curvy lines, I tried hard to incorporate water/fire/earth/air inspirations. Love seeing it come back into style now.
Great explanation of this style, it helped me to find out where I really stand! Thanks so much!
I am very much tempted by organic modern because I love using organic materials, but I see now that I need more contrast and probably colour than offered by this style.
I read 'Where to shop' as 'Where to stop' first, and I 100% expected that kind of advise from Nick 😂
Wow! We have recently moved to a new place, and it has some furniture from the previous owner, which is darker, but leather, glass, stone. I like accents and scandi, but couldn't understand why I am now leaning towards buying natural-material (wooden, stone) shelves, more plants, etc. Besides trying to be more sustainable, I now know that this is my style, I am just trying to match what I like to the existing furnishings that I am starting to like, too, thank you!! I really can understand why and what exactly I can shop around for!
Great video and great ideas. I am in the gathering phase for my new house and I will utilize your tips. Organic modern is definitely my style.
Great video. This is totally me with a dash of Japandi. I'm working on curating my home and editing the things I have and making decisions slowly so I don't buy a bunch of crap.
Love the maroon/reddish-brown/whatever, shirt....great with your coloring. My style is curated and eclectic, collected for 8 decades. Like your videos!
Love your videos! I was very happy to hear you discuss the difference between Contemporary and Modern. I'd love to see a video about early Modern design of the 1920s +... think the Barcelona chair, buildings (and furniture) by Rietveld, the Bauhaus, plus all sorts of post-WWI designs. Clean lines, minimalism, right angles, machine made/industrial items, etc. These must surely have influenced the MCM artists, designers, and architects?
