- 2. INTRODUCTION • In Dutch,“DE STIJL” means “The Style”, also known as neoplasticism. • It is a school of art founded in Holland in 1917 (to 1931) typically using rectangular forms and the primary colors plus black and white and asymmetric balance. • The harmony and order was established through a reduction of elements to pure geometric forms and primary colors.

- 3. HISTORY • From theflurry of new art movements that followed the Impressionist revolutionary new perception of painting, Cubism arose in the early 20th century as an important and influential new direction. In the Netherlands, too, there was interest in this "new art". • However, because the Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, Dutch artists were not able to leave the country after 1914 and were thus effectively isolated from the international art world—and in particular, from Paris, which was its centre then. • During that period, painter Theo van Doesburg started looking for other artists to set up a journal and start an art movement. Van Doesburg was also a writer, poet, and critic, who had been more successful writing about art than working as an independent artist. Quite adept at making new contacts due to his flamboyant personality and outgoing nature, he had many useful connections in the art world. SOURCE: designishistory.com

ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTERISTICS • Flatroof, asymmetry, geometric forms, white or gray walls with details highlighted by primary colors. • Compositions generally emphasize the separation of planes, the application of primary colors, and the spatial relationship of solids to voids. • Rectangular shapes define the geometric repetition of windows, doors, and blocks of color. • Window sizes vary on an individual building from large to small. They may be arranged in patterns or one unit on a large wall. • Flat roofs are typical, and distinctly different from other structures. SOURCE: whc.unesco.org SCHRODER HOUSE
- 13. FURNITURE • Furniture anddecorative arts are conceived as one with the architecture and interior design. • Designers similarly emphasize structure, construction, proportion, and the balance between solid and void relationships. • They carefully place individual parts to develop visual balance and harmony so that all parts are appreciated alone as well as in context with the whole furniture piece. • Chairs and tables are the most important conveyors of concepts. • Furniture complements the architectonic character of an interior through its emphasis on straight lines, rectangular planes, and geometric forms.
