A simple theory guides Degage: contemporary furniture, as a permanent and extremely important part of every household, should be of the highest quality – from design, through construction, to the finished piece.
Every piece of furniture fulfills several important purposes. It should be functional, providing necessities such as storage, support, or a place to rest, eat or work. It should maximize use of space and form, utilizing placement of items such as shelves, drawers and cupboards to the best advantage. It should be well designed, so that all elements of the piece – shelves, drawers, cupboards, open spaces, tops, bottoms and sides alike – work together. And it should create a certain atmosphere, communicating a feeling that blends and flows with the rest of the décor throughout the home.
To create furnishings that work well as a whole and accomplish each purpose, every step in the furniture process must be paid careful attention. If one step is not done well, then the whole piece will suffer. With Degage home furnishings, each piece of furniture is designed and made with the utmost care and quality from top to bottom. We work primarily in two different styles, modern and neoclassical.
Modern or Contemporary Style
In furniture, modern or contemporary style basically evolved in the 20th century. Extraneous design and decorative accessories began to be phased out: ruffles, tassels, extra drawers, intricate carvings and the like were gone. Instead, designers began to focus on form and function and the new theory that less is more. Lines became cleaner, and designs became simpler. Furniture began to compliment a room rather than overwhelm it, and grew more and more functional to boot. Modern style’s pleasing design and practical advantages propelled the movement forward to the leading design trend that it remains today.
Neo-Classical Style
Neoclassicism was the dominant architectural style in Europe from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s. Architecture began to reflect and imitate these newly uncovered Greco-Roman forms, and the styles they unearthed were used in everything from houses to arches to churches.
Today, neoclassical interior designers choose from these historical elements to create balanced, refined furniture pieces. The use or look of materials such as stone and a range of colors can also enhance the graceful and simple neoclassical design that compliments our modern world today.
