Modern Pastoral
While modernism has often been associated with slick urban environments, a warm, approachable Modern Pastoral aesthetic developed in tandem, sharing roots with Scandinavian modern and American Shaker design. An emphasis on natural woods and materials, a quiet neutral palette, and furniture where comfort and simplicity come first can be appreciated in city and country alike.
