The name “Modeco” originates from the synthesis of the terminologies “Modernism” and “Art Deco,” two prevailing periods of the 20th century that exerted substantial influence on design and aesthetics. The Modeco design represents a departure from the previous modernistic trend and signifies the emergence of a new era, one where ornamentation is once again valued. Essentially, it is Nordic Tales’ first venture into a novel period of design where ornamentation plays a more significant role
Modeco is an endeavor to embrace and reintroduce ornamentation and feminine values. In the late 20th century, the modernistic ideology was, to some extent, misinterpreted, and concepts like “less is more” were misconstrued as “cheaper is better.” This view, focused on economic optimization, disregarded the essential human desire for decorative ornamentation.
We hold the conviction that by harmoniously integrating values from both modernism and Art Deco into our creations in the 21st century, we can produce objects that are functional while still addressing the fundamental human need for decoration.
Mouth blown lamps are a central part of Nordic Tales. We find that the process of mouth blowing contributes with a human factor. Something that were much more common during the era of Art Deco. The name Modeco is a contraction of the words Modernism and Art Deco, the two major influencing periods of the 20th century.
Bright Modeco is marking the transition from the latest modernistic influenced period to a new period where a certain level of ornamentation is yet again to be seen. In other words Modeco is Nordic Tales’ first step into a new period where form plays a bigger part.
Modeco seeks to balance both ornamentation and strict minimalism. To bridge the two periods aren’t any easy job, but we have taken the challenge. The Bright Modeco is mouth blown, which is typical Art Deco, but it also has a very cleaver mounting system, that is resonates with ideas from the modernistic era of 21th century.
The Modeco, given its mouth blown opaque glass cover, provides a very diffuse, warm and comfortable light. In other words, Bright Modeco is a good basic illuminator. It can be used in a traditional cafe setting, but you can also bring the cafe into your home.
Bright Modeco can be used in various ways, both as a part of a bigger installation or as a single unit in a corner. Either way you will bring the beloved atmosphere of the 21th century into your modern day life.
These days we spend a lot of time at home, and if this is the beginning of a new era, we better make it comfortable
