The evolutional phase of wisdom, culture, art, and civilization intertwines the sequences of different nationalities and cultures. When times go by, it brings out stimulations and evolutions to modern social culture and becomes a challenge of the day. The interflow between Eastern and Western culture is a process of coordination and assimilation. The enlightenment of the Art Nouveau, an champion that against historicism and mainstream art, is regarded as the turning point and the beginning of the Modernism. This champion was derived not only from the Industrial Revolution that against modern mechanism and advocated the quality of crafts and social reform, but also from the trail of the Arts & Crafts Movement, and finally form expressing the love of nature and romantic came to accept and utilize the development of industry that aimed to the gate of modernity rather than oppose it.
The more important thing is that, however, it was a period of fervors toward the Eastern Art, through international expo, which blew out a wave of learning from Japanese arts, and lots of designers, architects, and artists in Europe were under Eastern influence. Viewing back this phenomenon, these was is the 18th century a trend of learning and imitating from Chinese arts including painting, crafts, lacquer wane and furniture which so called Chinoiserie. Therefore, the research focuses on the interaction between the philosophy of the rational style of the Art Nouveau Furniture and the concise style of the Ming’s Furniture. The research also discusses the analogous relations of forms and styles, the reflections toward the essence of interior contemporary furniture, the spirits of furniture, and the coexistences of modern spaces, in the Ming’s Furniture and the Art Nouveau Furniture with the changes of the times.
The research analyzes the forms, ideas, cultures, stylishness of the Ming’s Furniture and the rational forms of the Art Nouveau Furniture. We can find out that both of them have the 20th century’s designing concepts and epochal characteristics. Derived from the Ming’s Furniture and the Art Nouveau Furniture, the Contemporary Furniture present a multiple and up-to-date characteristics such as simplicity, functionality, mechanic aesthetic and elegant. As a result, we could find some epitomes of the Ming’s and the Art Nouveau Furniture in the Contemporary Furniture design. With the transformation of the Contemporary Furniture, the spirits, forms, and stylishness of furniture designs could sustain.
