De Stijl (The Style) was an art and design movement that developed in Netherlands, partly as a consequence of its isolation during WWI. Sometimes referred to as neoplasticism, It was recognisable for its pure abstraction, reflected in the use of strong vertical and horizontal lines, bold primary colours and the articulation of distinct functional elements. It was adopted in art (notably by Mondrian), furniture and architecture.
