De Stijl (1917-1931) is a dutch term meaning style. VanDoesburg and Mondrian created amagazine titled De Stijl about their ideas on art theory. Architect Rietveld Schroder joined the group later and created the only building to truly follow theDe Stijl principles. TheDe Stijl concept was a reaction against the horrors of the FirstWorldWar, it aimed to restore harmony and order. The Eames House in Los Angeles built 20 years later took inspiration fromDe Stijl, as graphic design does today with reduced formand simple lines. The use of block colour was highly innovative and forward thinking.
