Have a Modernist Master in Your Home or Office

Added: (Tue Mar 31 2009)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Le Corbusier, the godfather of modernism, is often in the public eye even given the fact that he died over 40 years ago, but never more so than now with the Le Corbusier exhibition travelling around Europe, proving this modernist master is still as relevant today as in his own time. Once you have marvelled at the works of the 20th century’s most influential architect in the exhibition, you can purchase a modernist master of your own: a piece of Le Corbusier furniture for your home or office from Designity Shop (www.designity-shop.com).

Europe is celebrating all things Le Corbusier in 2009, with the Barbican Art Gallery in London showcasing ‘Le Corbusier: The Art of Architecture’ now until the 24th May and Barcelona’s World Architecture Festival featuring Le Corbusier between the 4th and 6th November, among many other venues. Le Corbusier’s furniture, architecture and life philosophy will be displayed and discussed to assess the impressive influence of this extraordinary cultural figure on the modern world of art and architecture.

There are not many instances in which one can hope to purchase a work of art by a key modernist artist and enjoy it in our everyday surroundings. But Le Corbusier’s very philosophy was architecture as “machines for living in”, homes as “habitation units” and this essentially pragmatic approach extended to his furniture, with the clean lines and stark shapes of his entirely functional pieces.

Fans of Le Corbusier furniture and architecture can purchase from a wide range of the modernist master’s furniture at Designity-Shop.com, the online retailer of modern Bauhaus-style furniture. Modernist fans and lovers of all things contemporary will no doubt find other designers’ pieces that inspire them in the online store. From Charles Eames office chairs to Eileen Gray tables, every modern designer from the Bauhaus époque is featured. If you’re thinking of visiting the European Le Corbusier exhibition for inspiration about architecture and modernism, visiting www.designity-shop.com will inspire you to bring a little bit of modernist design into your home or office.
