Are you a mid-century modern connoisseur? If yes, you'll love the mid-century modern furniture pieces we've carefully assembled for you.
The mid-century modern style gives us gentle organic curves, clean lines, and a love for different materials. Many designers still idolize mid-century modern design styles, which is one reason why this style has never gone out of fashion.
But what is mid-century modern? This is a complex term to describe as it is a collective word that incorporates architecture, graphic design, and furniture from the middle of the 20th century. These include the years between 1933 to 1965. However, some argue that this modern design is limited to the period from 1947 to 1957.
If you are a fan of this mid-century design, you'll love the classic, understated look, with clean lines and minimal fuss that surround it. Some of the notable features of this design include:
- An emphasis on functionality; form follows function
- Minimal orientation
- The juxtaposition of contrasting materials
- Uncluttered and sleek lines that have geometric and organic forms
- Democratic (in other words, designed for everybody)
- An exploration of various traditional and non-traditional materials
This style grew out of early 20th century Modernism, hence the name, including the International and Bauhaus movements. The style took hold after the 2nd World War and was influenced by the new technologies, materials, and newfound prosperity. Another thing that influenced it is the urban areas of the time with smaller living spaces.
Now that we have a good idea of what this style has in store let's look at some fantastic mid-century modern furniture items that will make your house look like a time capsule from the 1950s.
