How did modernist architects approach the design of interiors?

Modernist architects approached the design of interiors by emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and minimalism. They aimed to create spaces that were practical, efficient, and free from unnecessary decorations. Modernist architects believed that the design of an interior should focus on the needs and activities of its occupants, rather than the whims of fashion or ornamentation. They often used materials such as concrete, glass, and steel to create open and airy spaces that were flexible and adaptable to changing needs. Modernist architects also paid great attention to the lighting, acoustics, and ventilation of interiors, believing that these factors were essential to creating comfortable and productive spaces. Overall, the modernist approach to interior design rejected the lavish and ornate styles of the past in favor of a more functional and rational approach.
