What is Brutalism? Born in the early 1970’s Its hard edges, jagged shapes, rough surfaces, built up finishes, and symmetrical organic designs of wood metal and or resins. Brutalism was bold and distanced its self from the early days of streamlined blond modern furniture and Danish modern furniture. Early designers were Paul Evans, Adrian Pearsall and the Lane furniture company. The pieces are strong, dynamic and edgy. Brutalism turns heads and is highly collectable.
