Theo van Doesburg (1883.8.30 ~ 1931.3.7) was a famous Dutch painter, designer, poet and aesthetic theorist in the 20th century.He is famous for the establishment and leadership of Dutch “style” art. He is the theoretical founder and standard-bearer of Dutch “style”, the founder, preside and writer of “style” magazine, as well as the pioneer of dadaism and the advocator of futurism. His Design style is to Remove the traditional design factors and turn them into basic geometric monomer; then combine the geometric monomers into a simple structure, while the monomers still have relative independence and visibility; also Research and application of asymmetric structure; repeated use of vertical and horizontal geometry and basic primary colors (red, yellow and blue), neutral colors (black, white and grey).

When it comes to his design philosophy, we have to talk about Bauhaus.Bauhaus is an architectural, industrial design, aesthetic and sociological concept. At the end of the 1920s, Theo van Doesburg began to advocate “less style”, and increasingly penetrated into the simple geometric structure and neutral color plan of “reductionism”, and devoted himself to the study of new internationalism.This artistic view was adopted and had a great influence by Bauhaus, and abstract art gradually became an international style of modern design, guiding the product modeling throughout the 20th century.
