Abstract

Democratization of design is an important criterion to distinguish traditional design from modern design. Art nouveau movement and modernist design are the inevitable outcome of the democratization process in the history of western modern design. It is of great historical and practical significance to examine their "similarities and differences" from the perspective of history and design democratization. In terms of the contribution to human beings, the humanistic care of design and the advancement of design, the two have the same original intention and different results, but achieve the "harmony but difference" of Confucius.
