What We Love About Mid-Century Modern Design

Mid-century modern refers to a design movement during the 1940s through 1960s that featured clean lines, open spaces, geometric shapes and soft organic curves all with the integration of new materials in building, furnishings and art.

Minimal and functional, this style featured contrasting colors and materials. Wood was used but many unconventional materials for the time were celebrated and integrated including metal, glass and plastic.

To find characteristics of mid-century modern style in furniture look for long, flared legs and flared arms. Some pieces have boxy exposed frames and often rounded corners and tapered edges.
