I recently discovered the Brutalist architecture movement, which also led to mid-century modern Brutalist decor. Heavily oriented around texture, brutalist objects are sharp, spiky, blocky, molten or geometric looking. Check out Fuck Yeah Brutalism on Tumblr for Brutalist architecture; and a Google Image Search for “art deco brutalism” is really interesting too.
