The Influence of German Modernism in Macedonia

ABSTRACT

German Modernism is characterized by minimalist design and the use
of functional materials such as steel, glass and concrete. The elements
have a simple layout to provide a sense of spatial design. Simplicity and
functionality of objects make them the center of attention, while the
use of light and shapes creates a dramatic atmosphere.
German Modernism has a great influence on interiors and furniture
through use of minimalist and functional designs. Representatives of this
style category were known for using simple forms and quality materials
with a focus on functionality and ergonomics. German Modernism has a
deep connection with industrial design practice, resulting in placement
of objects from mass production in the interior to bring high quality
and elegance. of the simple design. This style fits well with the modern
culture and the modern trends in design in Macedonia which makes it
very acceptable and popular in many homes and offices today.
