In the late 19th century, an enduring preference for highly ornamented architecture gave way to a budding Modernism of clean lines and unadorned surfaces. At the same moment, everyday objects - cups, saucers, chairs, and tables - began to receive critical attention. Alina Payne addresses this shift, arguing for a new understanding of the genealogy of architectural modernism.
