Designers decided to become like Cubist artists and painted furniture with bright geometric patterns.

Like impressionism, at first very few people took Cubism with a bang. The term critics used as derogatory. But time has proved the rightness of innovative artists, and now no one doubts the talent of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, and their paintings beat price records at auctions. The course that arose in 1906-1907 was inspired by the works of Paul Cezanne. But the cubists went further: if the canvases of a famous landscape painter as a whole are quite realistic, then the works of his legal successors, whether it be a still life or a portrait, are composed entirely of multi-colored faces intersecting at different angles.

Modern designers like this spectacular, bright and graphic design. They use it in the decoration of furniture and accessories. Designer Antonio D'Andrea invented for the company FRANCESCO MOLON dressers and cabinets with red-yellow mirror facades. Alessandro Mendini designed such a chair for the factory. KARTELL, but Tom dickson - carpet for THE RUG COMPANY. Along with the usual furniture, lamps and home textiles, you can even find cubist washbasins. This series is at the factory CERAMICS FLAMINIA. Items embellished with cubist prints will serve as a bright accent. They will look good on a neutral background. At the same time, in an interior saturated with color, they can be used to support the color dominant. This design is truly multifaceted!
