De Stijl

De Stijl was an art and design movement from the early 20th century, primarily in the Netherlands, that aimed to create harmony through simplified forms and colors. It focused on basic geometric shapes—like squares and rectangles—and a limited color palette of primary colors, black, white, and gray. The movement sought to express universal order and balance, influencing architecture, furniture, and art. By reducing design to its essential elements, De Stijl aimed to promote clarity, harmony, and a sense of unity in everyday life.
