Decoration got displaced by design. Dieter Rams to teenage engineering... There are ascetic elements all over, but they are those of industry. Eames Chair's aren't embellished, they are the embellishment in the room. With a flood of space in the modern era a plain room becomes a blank canvas that you fill with "Stuff" to make a statement. This goes for clothing as well. WE have gone from "look that the dress I got that I will wear for 2 years" to "look at the shoes I got that will wear for two months".

It's somehow the result of what modernism did to arts/design and what two world wars did to society as a whole.
