Contemporary furniture characteristics (beginning of the 20th century), (Walthon JA, 1984).
1. Meeting the demands of the Standard.
Although it has been many changes and additions to the form that was so successful, construction increased standard of architecture and furniture, but can not influence too much the motif or style (mode) traditional.
2. It was simple / Simple.
During the first decade of the 20th century, the organization Werkbund (in German) as large organizations in the design of the furniture at the time, and also other organizations like work to produce a design that is simple (Simple-Plain), while the value of art and the arts, fine demanded into a mode , so that they can not meet the needs of consumers in general.
3. Work-Based Engineering (masinal).
In this period the Victorian era still hold shape or shallow ornaments. Furniture styles Elizabeth also still coloring that is, heavy, bulky and often made and simple construction. The use of block by glue (Glue Block), nails and screws, and the decor is a mix of profiles (Moulding) and carving. Some designers try to express personally to do percobaanp ercobaan, the pair ornament variations and some ingredients such as: gadirig, plastic and glass. Thin veneer are also often used to cover the lack of good construction.
4. Lightweight, Natty and Smooth.
Prior to World War I. The final design memperlihatkafl changes to lighter and more neat shape after tidiness Sheraton style. This change affects the well imitated by later architecture styles. Its architecture allows Forms filled by furniture that is lighter and Iebih which to set up a new interior.
Starters Shape Abstract
After World War I there was upheaval / rivalry between supporters of the new Designer Furniture retains the principle of modernization, while on the other hand wants the persistence of traditional ornament styles and to keep his art. Post-World War impacted greatly by the increasing need of commodities in terms of quantity, in quantity, not quality is preferred, due solely to meet permintnan of all kinds of goods such massive jump including pelayannnya.
Demand is much improved, with the introduction of a system of payment, method of payment of wages and goods the very lack of designer (designer) Industrial trained, industrialists make changes towards a minimalist standard furniture in the style or model of furniture that can be popularized. (Walthon, JA, 1984)

Most of the designers who feel disappointed progressive post-war world, because the quality of the furniture so drastically decreased, they continue to build back a good quality furniture that is entirely made by hand (hand made). They use machines, especially for the great work and heavy, especially in the preparatory work and the material timber, as pioneered by Edward Barnsley Ltd, Romney Green and Peter Walls Ltd, Heal & Son and Gordon Russell Ltd, (UK), for example , by having its own factory or workshop itself and has developed berkuaslitas Furniture manufacture high (high Quality) until now.
In 1933, the German government has closed the Bauhaus School when the school is the center of pioneering and development of furniture design (Walthon, 1984), and most of the teachers and their students spread to the UK and the USA where they continue the development of ideas and experiences.

In the thirties of the Architect and Designer of young interprets “function principle” Bauhaus stressed at what aspects of their (rigidly). whereas Architectural models have ranks top in its development so much gained new discoveries on production, such as steel, concrete-reinforced concrete, glass plates, with the introduction also constructing new ways.
The use of cantilever and width of the room at the time, made the young designer was inspired to plan and distribute the vast interior space, and removes the barrier walls are not really necessary, for example, the small windows.
The forms of the building to be like a box (box), the use of skeletons of reinforced concrete and steel construction, where the walls were made and brick or concrete and wood, with the outside of the open-ended with the installation of glass walls are wide. They deliberately simplified (simple), not many ornaments, geometric, emphasis on functional, as well as the use of construction materials and minimalist design expression in the model building using skeletons, all impacting on engineering and modeling furniture.
