Today most any product with a hint of modernism will attract design-centric shoppers, with both contemporary and vintage items in high demand. Modernist fans are willing to pay extra for a well designed product and there are new design stores popping up in most every urban center. It is no coincidence that €œmodern design + home€� is one of the most popular tag categories emerging in the Stylehive.

Modernism home design began with the 1920€™s Master€™s House at the Bauhaus in Germany, then skyrocketed in the 1940€™s with the pre-fab house by Ray and Charles Eames, and was inspired by Pop Art during the 1960€™s in the dining rooms designed by Verner Panton. Today modernist furniture and accessories are available at specialty stores such as Moss, Zinc Details, Unica Home, Relish, Velocity and many others. Some of the most coveted brands include new and vintage designs from Knoll, Vitra, Alessi, Kartell, Herman Miller, Flos, Fritz Hansen, Saarinen, Jonathan Adler, Marimekko, Heath, and Le Corbusier.
