The History of Modern Furniture
Modern furniture originated as a parallel to the ornate and detailed Victorian-style homes of the pre-war period. In showing off your home, you wanted opulence, details, and craftsmanship that took weeks, months, and even years to create. While this is very similar in the current design world, the trends of furniture design have favored simpler, cleaner styles over time.
In this post-war era, modern furniture evolved as a rebellion against the overly ornate homes of the time. Far from eschewing luxury, modern furniture instead redesigned the concept of luxury. The more minimalist designs were led by these post-war shifts, away from Art Nouveau and Neoclassical, and towards a lighter, more streamlined design style.
As with the visual design shift, the materials used in modern furniture’s production also changed. Instead of carved wood and painted finishes, modernism brought with it polished metals and clean leathers. Mass production opened the way to more than just utility in production, but also new design materials such as plywood and moldable plastics. At its core, the modern movement was about making design accessible to all.
However, even though the modern furniture movement began with the goal of mass production, standout artisans and designers have retained their place in the luxury market. They aim to highlight the design inspirations of the period while still keeping hand crafting techniques alive. Bracci Luxury Furniture is one such design house.
Bracci: A Staple In Luxury Modern Design
Bracci works from their factory in Southern Italy, where they have been creating luxury pieces that stand the test of time for years. Their design flow incorporates the workshop and inspiration process that starts with talented Italian interior designers and culminates in the skill and craftsmanship of their factory artisans. They take pride in the work that they do — and in the quality that they promise to deliver with every product.
They have a strong focus on sustainability and preserving their craft. All their leather is eco-friendly and cut by hand. There’s no way for a machine to replicate the level of detail and quality, and Bracci understands that there are corners you just can’t cut in creating luxury furniture. The artisans they work with learn their craft from the generations before them, and they’re prepared to teach it to the next. The foam they use is also eco-friendly — it’s entirely CFC free without compromising on the experience of using the sofa or chair in any way.
The leathers are hand-stitched. As an extra layer of customization, clients can also order special stitching patterns and thicknesses to suit their personal interior design needs and style. The Bracci brand perfectly combines luxury comfort and motion in one. Bracci also offers the best pull out bed/sofa combination in the market. It’s not only easy to operate but also comfort like no other. It’s a quality line that’s 100% made in Italy, with availability in the US after rigorous quality checks and importation.
Bracci Design Highlights
To show off what Bracci has on offer, we’ve curated a list of some of our favorite headline collection pieces. The goal of modern furniture is to allow for inspiration to strike in its own way, without being weighed down by the visual clutter that traditional Victorian-style furnishings have. This means that Bracci’s designs often overlap with contemporary and minimalist styles, making them pieces that are chameleons for many design-oriented homeowners. By nature, Bracci’s designs are available as custom orders that let you select and merge the pieces that inspire you and fit your space.
Artu’
On first glance, the Artu’ pieces give a soft, cloud-like appearance. Through the careful use of lines and shape, they contrast soft curves on cushions with straight-line sofa backs, creating a piece that feels modern and breezy at the same time. It’s available with both thin and thick stitch finishes, with a hardwood frame as its structural base. The lack of visible feet adds to this visual lightness. As a sectional, the Artu’ is compatible with an extensive range of seat sizes, corners, and end pieces. This ensures that there’s a design configuration that works for your space and your needs.
Discovery
The Discovery sectional leans far into the modernist furniture design trends. With each backrest being separated for each seat on the sofa, it gives off a distinctly mid-century feel that is brimming with style. The visible feet are available with classic stainless steel and bronze finishes, with two different shape options for customization. In addition to the thin and thick stitches, they also offer a zigzag ornamental stitch design.
Glamour Curved
The glamour sofa is strongly reminiscent of the early era of modern design: the curved shape and backrest feel both mid-century and modern at the same time. In open spaces requiring a softer, gentler atmosphere, this sofa shines. As a conversation starter and a place for conversation, rooms styles with the Glamour sofa will feel effortlessly chic. With leather, stitching, and leg finishing options available, this piece is easily customizable for your home.
