The Roots of Modern Style
Modern design didn't just happen; it was a rebellion. Emerging in the early 20th century from the German Bauhaus school and Scandinavian design movements, it threw out the heavy, ornate, dust-gathering decorations of the Victorian era.
The philosophy was simple: furniture should serve a purpose, use materials honestly, and be accessible. After World War II, this evolved into the Mid-Century Modern look we still love today—bringing organic shapes, warm woods, and open spaces into American homes. At Giorgi Bros., we curate modern pieces that honor this heritage while offering the comfort and durability required for today's Bay Area homes.
The Mitt Inspiration.
The iconic Eames Lounge Chair—a staple of modern design—was intentionally designed to have the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt."

What Makes it "Modern"?
Strong Geometrics
Look for straight lines, gentle curves, and a lack of unnecessary detailing. Every line serves a purpose.
Contrasting Textures
Modern style blends natural elements like solid walnut, oak, and leather with industrial accents like chrome, steel, and molded glass.
Room to Breathe
Modern furniture often sits high on tapered legs. This raises pieces off the floor, creating light and an open, airy feeling in your room.
Form Follows Function.
Architect Louis Sullivan coined this phrase in 1896. It became the ultimate battle cry for modern furniture designers who believed a chair's shape should be dictated entirely by how comfortable it is to sit in.
