Trend: Mondrianism in User Interface Design



A design trend in contemporary user interfaces is the utilisation of modular elements, similar to the fine art style De Stijl, also known as Neoplasticism or Mondrianism. It tends to involve the use of the entire available display with a widescreen aspect ratio, and either a bright and primary or muted and pastel colour system. Photographic imagery tends to be paired with contrasting large and small type, with the visual elements often overlaying each other. 

It's a well received visual style, and has inherent user experience advantages through its ability to create a clear cut sense of hierarchy and keep users interested with its smooth, attractive animations. 

Scandinavian design in particular has adopted this trend, eschewing the bright colour palettes for monochrome or muted alternatives.
