De Stijl
Inspiration for us all
De Stijl movement (The Style in Dutch) started in 1917 and came as far as the early 1930's. The style was known to consist out of various types of squares and rectangles and the colors involved was black, white and primary colors like red, yellow and blue...(The Art Story, 2019)
This style was used to create furniture, art and even buildings. Gerrit Thomas Rietveld was a leading artist, architect and designer during this movement.(The Art Story, 2019) He explored and studied the versatility and synergy involved in The Style and it created modern looking designs with it. His house is a great example.(The Art Story, 2019)

You can see how the simplicity of de Stijl created such a complex, yet modern looking building. Although the movement ended, it inspired many and is used in many things today, such as typography, illustrations, buildings, furniture, art etc.(The Art Story, 2019)

People today enjoy the modern look it gives to their work and implement it in many ways. It's common even in digital design and in the user interface of an application.(The Art Story, 2019) You'll even find that some games are associated with the movement and it's the simplicity that inspired the developers.
We won't expect that a movement so simple would be such a huge inspiration and influence modern designs this much today. Something that was just a flare in the past is now seen as the firework that's lighting up our present and will continue to do so for our future...(The Art Story, 2019)
