What is Mid-Century Modern?
If you get giddy at the names Eames, Knoll, Bertoia, Herman Miller, Cherner, & Saarinen then you most definitely know about Mid-Century furniture design. Over the past several years Mid-Century Modern design & Danish modern has become one of the most popular design styles around. The designers at this time embraced the principles of clean, pure lines, proportions of the human body, and mass production techniques. The period of time that encompasses Mid-Century is loosely 1933-1965.
Where did this renewal of interest come from? Mad Men maybe, Palm Springs? Who knows? I think people simply love the clean lines, functionality, and coolness of it. Here are a few of my favorite examples of Mid-Century styling.
