Modern furniture refers to furniture produced from the late 19th century through the present that is influenced by modernism.

Post-World War II ideals of cutting excess, commodification, and practicality of materials in design heavily influenced the aesthetic of the furniture.

It was a tremendous departure from all furniture design that had gone before it.

There was an opposition to the decorative arts, which included Art Nouveau, Neoclassical, and Victorian styles.

Dark or gilded carved wood and richly patterned fabrics gave way to the glittering simplicity and geometry of polished metal.

The forms of furniture evolved from visually heavy to visually light.

This shift from decorative to minimalist principles of design can be attributed to the introduction of new technology, changes in philosophy, and the influences of the principles of architecture.

As Philip Johnson, the founder of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art articulates:

Mesa-Boogie "Mark IV", a guitar combo amplifier.

A guitar amplifier (or amp) is an electronic device or system that strengthens the electrical signal from a pickup on an electric guitar, bass guitar, or acoustic guitar so that it can produce sound through one or more loudspeakers, which are typically housed in a wooden cabinet.

A guitar amplifier may be a standalone wood or metal cabinet that contains only the power amplifier (and preamplifier) circuits, requiring the use of a separate speaker cabinet–or it may be a "combo" amplifier, which contains both the amplifier and one or more speakers in a wooden cabinet.

There is a wide range of sizes and power ratings for guitar amplifiers, from small, lightweight "practice amplifiers" with a single 6-inch speaker and a 10-watt amp to heavy combo amps with four 10-inch or four 12-inch speakers and a 100-watt amplifier, which are loud enough to use in a nightclub or bar performance.
