Barrel Chair by Frank Lloyd Wright
• Principles– Symmetrical balance
– Regular rhythm
– Focal point to the vertical lines– Proportional to human form
– Harmonious caused by use of lines and curves
• Elements– Vertical lines in front view
– Curved lines in top view– Warm brown colors of wood
– Circular shape from top
– Rectangle shape from front
– Open space (welcoming)– Used space
– Smooth texture (comforting)
– Light creates much shade– Wood creates many tints
– Fabric creates various shades and tints
Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
• Principles– Symmetrical balance– Regular rhythm
– Focus is on the cushions
– Slightly longer than human form– Harmonious in use of pattern
• Elements– Vertical & horizontal pattern in the
cushion
– Curved lines of the legs
– Warm feel to cushions– Cool feel to the legs
– Rectangular shape
– Open space
– Smooth texture– Shade created by reflections in
metal and leather
Petite Leather Chair by Le Corbusier
• Principles– Symmetrical balance– Regular rhythm
– Focus is on the cushions
– Proportioned to human form– Harmonious in little structure
• Elements– Vertical & horizontal geometry of
the cushion
– Vertical lines of the legs
– Warm feel to cushions– Cool feel to the legs
– Rectangular shape
– Closed space (welcoming)
– Smooth texture– Shade created by light
Grasshopper Chair by Eero Saarinen
• Principles– Symmetrical balance– Regular & Graduated rhythm
– Focus is on the cushions
– Proportioned to human form & structure
– Harmonious in simple structure
• Elements– Horizontal pattern of the cushion
– Curved lines of the legs– Warm feel to the cushions
– Warm feel to the legs
– Rhomboid shape
– Open space (welcoming)
– Smooth texture– Tint created by grain of wood
Tea Pot by Michael Graves
• Principles– Symmetrical shape– Graduated rhythm of tapered
cylindrical pot– Focal point is handle and spout
– Proportional to its function
– Harmonious use of metal
• Elements– Curved lines
– Cool color for hot function– Cylindrical shape
– Open space for the surface
– Smooth metal texture– Tints caused by metal reflections
Leather Chair by I.M. Pei
• Principles– Symmetrical shape– Graduated rhythm
– No focal point due to single flow of color
– Proportional to human form
– Harmonious flow of shape and color
• Elements– Curved lines
– Warm color– Extruded curved shapes
– Open space
– Smooth texture from leather material
– Shade created by shape
– Tint created by leather type material
Kettle for Alessiby Frank Gehry
• Principles– Symmetrical shape– Graduated rhythm of tapered
cylindrical pot– Focal point is handle and spout
– Proportional to its function
– Harmonious use of metal
• Elements– Curved lines
– Cool color for hot function– Cylindrical shape
– Open space for the surface
– Smooth metal texture– Tints caused by metal reflections
& grain of the wood
