Thesis Statement

TIMELESSNESS

Some works of art and design seem to transcend time, remaining relevant and cherished regardless of their age. However, timeless works of design differ from those of art in the fact that these pieces are still being produced and utilized today exactly how they were at the time that they were created. I have designed a brief publication that examines the characteristics of timeless designs in an effort to better understand what constitutes timelessness from the Modern Era of furniture design. This assessment of modern furniture design explores these characteristics and examines the role of timelessness in the contemporary atmosphere.
