THE PHENOMENON OF SHAPELESS FURNITURE IN 1960 – 2000 DESIGN

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (44) December, 2013

The article considers the principle of formlessness as a special design paradigm in furniture design in the 20th– early 21st century. The author tracks back to the origins of the "formless" and reveals the relationship between the language of form and creative methods in the art of the 1960-1970s and in postmodernist design. The conclusion is that the phenomenon of the "formless" in design is determined socio-culturally and it is associated with technological advances.
