That is the style people have come to expect of "Modern" designers. When you asked the question of which style is still seen today, I posed no hesitation in my though that the Vienna Succession is the style of TODAY! Nearly all new construction and remodeling of older construction seen today in the World, and especially in North America, is centered around geometric, hard lined, rigid, structured, composition and form. Because of the difference in the two styles which style do you feel was more influencial and still seen today?
In Hoffmann's Gaming Chair a pattern in apparent in the structure of the chair, but is emphasized even more because of the placement of the black squares.īoth Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession changed the world of aesthetic design and have greatly influenced today's styles.

He wanted the viewers interpretation of the piece to be both from an artistic and psycological stand-point. Galle looked for inspiration from nature. Art Nouveau allowed people to experience and feel design rather than just viewing it.Įmile Galle played a very influencial role in the development of the Art Nouveau movement. While items produced in the style of Art Nouveau were organic in shape and detail, items produced during the Vienna Secession were fully geometric in design and pattern. Even though these movements overlapped they were both very different in style and popularity. The Art Nouveau movement and Vienna Secession intersect in the early 20th century.
