Adolf Loos was a functionalist
who has a very radical in his idea; he had mentioned that, “Ornament is wasted
manpower and therefore wasted health.” He says “no” to any ornament, and come out
with the idea to having more free space in the room for functionality. In my
opinion, I like the simplicity and modern design but also appreciate the other
ornament for decoration, such as the interior element. Okay, it depends on what you prefer.
Modernism did take away the
color, pattern, and a beautiful ornament, somehow it reject the neo classic (old)
art. But to really think about it, do we need ornament? I know it ‘unnecessary’,
but nothing is wrong on it. I kind of disagree with his idea, having decoration
doesn’t mean wasting the space but something it can also give a better
functionality. And by “not” having any ornament doesn’t mean it will give you a
better space and more function in it. Don’t get me wrong I like both style,
either simple or decorative.
However, apple already prove to
us that minimalist can be really trendy and good design. You can see that there
is different kind of style now a day. He said that the person who has a simple
style is richer than the other who likes are decorative. Today we still see
people dressing in vintage and also classic black/white, so I don’t think there
is any right or wrong in any kind of style and it can’t say which one is richer
than the other one. But he is still right with the simple style, this article
was written in 19 century but he can see what is going to happen, and it
already happen today.
