The
Moderne
Movement
One
of the critical formative influences of the twentieth
century has been the response to modernity. Design has
been a key element in the service of reform movement.
Design has been a vital tool in acclimatizing people
in defining an identity, for those of you bold enough
to be individuals I applaud your good taste and continued
quest for your own personal style.
Introduction...
Welcome
to Moderneage, the world's premiere manufacturer of
modern icons and the most dynamic and distinctive furnishings
in the world today. Furnishings inspired by the American
masters Donald Deskey, Gilbert Rohde, Kem Weber, Paul
Frankl, and Walter Von Nessen as well as European masters
Ruhlmann, Chareau, Puiforcat, Hagenauer and others.
My
personal quest for modern began twenty years ago after
graduating from college with a thirst for knowledge
that has grown through the years. Having collected over
300 books on furniture, art, architecture and decorative
accessories, I have personally seen the best icons ever
produced. With this critical eye I have worked hard
to make available to you some of the truly great design
icons.
My
personal collecting interests is the inspiration for
the lines that I am developing with emphasis being on
Streamline Moderne, Machine Age Icons, Vintage Rattan,
Hagenauer and European masters primarily from the 1920's
to 1940's. My personal favorite period is the mid 30's
and those outstanding vintage pieces extremely difficult
to find.
My
vision with Moderenage is to make available to a base
of sophisticated consumers the finest modern furnishings
produced today. It is my sincere hope that you will
find this site interesting and informative. If you have
any questions please email me and I will personally
be happy to assist you.
The
objects shown here are authentic to the originals in
every way, and it is my personal belief that they will
remain icons in their own right.
In
closing, please email me any thoughts you may have,
I would love to hear from each and every one of you.
I also want to let you know that custom designs based
on your own specs are also available. Let us know your
wants and needs and we will get back to you on how we
can assist you.
Thanks
for having the patience to read through this letter
and enjoy the site, it is a true labor of love for me.
Sincerely,
Moderneage
