IAR 221: Modern Recliner


For my modern object I have selected this recliner within this room. There are many qualities that make this statement true. For one this recliner is very sleek looking. It doesn't really have a welcoming gesture to it at all. The curvy shape in it makes it almost sculptural. I think the shape is related to the ergonomics of the body. The contrasting of colors is also a trait that is used in modernism. The tan color with the white compliment each other very well. The pillow at the top of the recliner evokes a little bit of comfort, but is quickly taken back by the surroundings and remaining structure of the recliner.

  1. Nice blog entry, but what about the chair makes it unwelcoming? Is it the color, form, lack of upholstery, or a combination? Does modern always mean unwelcoming?
