Chic Mod

By Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 10/1/2005

Contemporary design gets a groove on with a hip, funked-out vibe equal parts reminiscent of the '60s and '70s. Fashion-savvy and composedly chic, this trend borrows a bit from the over-the-top glamour of Hollywood Regency. Utilizing geometric shapes as building blocks for knockout style, the overall key is immaculate tailoring, repetitive elements and an exquisite sense of proportion. Op Art-dizzy prints, sleek materials (wood, shell, lacquer), and a generous serving of white ensure this look is as cool and collected as can be.
