Rapid technological progress has created a newdirection in design – techno style. It has more and more adherents every year. Let's try to understand why this is happening. Ultra-modern technologies, computer innovations, the inevitable onset of urbanization on the patriarchal way of life leave their mark on the style and way of life of city dwellers. Technical developments and their implementation in everyday life seem to be ahead of the pace of their development by our contemporaries. Rarely a house or apartment can do without a large set of achievements of civilization, helping us literally at every step and making our life optimally organized.
What progress has brought us to...
Techno style emerged in the 80s of the last century.as a consequence of the development of technological progress and industrialization. First, it formed a culture of special music, psychology of life, then began to transform the interiors of a variety of premises - from disco clubs to restaurants. And, finally, it came to our homes. Cold shine, metal and glass surfaces, rough functional details that are no longer hidden behind the cladding - all this is the techno style. Its most advanced adherents are so actively introducing it into their homes that it already smacks of avant-garde. Which, however, does not bother lovers of experiments at all. The homes of some techno fans resemble an exhibition or museum of the latest achievements of engineering thought. However, the desire to equip the room with metal lamps, hanging beams and glass partitions reduces the coziness in such interiors to such a minimum that it is already difficult to discern. Therefore, designers had to look for a golden mean for their techno customers, removing massive structures and using a "light version" of this style.
Geometry shapes space
Living in a techno-interior is not easy.The overall impression of such premises is gloomy: artificiality, lack of smooth lines, metal frames, concrete partitions, iron spiral staircases, abundance of technical devices. The grotesqueness of the ideas is embodied in the rough finish and geometric shapes. The color scheme of such interiors involves a limited set of means. Basically, these are shades of gray, metallic, deep blue, dark green, burgundy.
Modern technostyle is less conservative: it allows for the intervention of high-tech, oriental asceticism and minimalism with elements of ethnic motifs.
Furniture in the interior in the techno style isglass tables and transparent partitions, massive metal cabinets, perforated furniture legs, plastic stools, heavy boxes, bent elements, low sofas and armchairs with upholstery in muted shades, wooden armrests, synthetic covers, shapeless armchairs and ottomans reminiscent of an abandoned bag, and a few wooden accessories.
