When Function Was Beautiful: The Forgotten Art of Everyday Design
Have you ever looked at an everyday object and thought, “Wow, this didn’t need to be this beautiful… but I’m glad it is”? In this video, I explore a time when beauty and function went hand in hand—from ornate Victorian sewing kits to Art Nouveau curling irons and even vintage toasters with spiderweb designs.
Since moving to Vienna, I’ve been surrounded by stunning architecture and thoughtful design details that made me wonder: When did we stop caring about art and beauty in everyday objects? Join me as I dive into the history of design, from the artistry of handcrafted items to the rise of mass production during the Industrial Revolution, the impact of the World Wars, and the minimalist shift in the mid-20th century.
Let’s celebrate the beauty hidden in plain sight!
What’s an object you’ve seen in your daily life that’s purely beautiful, even though it didn’t need to be? Share it in the comments—I’d love to hear about it!
