Abstract

The purpose of this study was to suggest a new approach to geometric abstraction for furniture design. For this study, Geometric abstraction that was done during 1917 through 1939 was investigated. Geometric abstraction is one form of pure abstraction and is mainly concerned with geometric elements and primary colors. De stijl and Bauhaus, which were emphasized groups during this period were influenced by geometric abstract arts. The purpose of this body of work has been to create furniture pieces that would express and embody my exploration and interpretation of geometric abstraction. The various compositions of geometric shapes, pure proportion, and primary color have been a focal point.
