Mid Century Modern Styling

Mid-century modern (MCM) has been described as ‘a style of design (as in architecture and furniture) originating in America of roughly the 1930s through the mid-1960s, characterized especially by clean lines, organic and streamlined forms, and a lack of embellishment’. Form and function were key during the rise of mid-century modern design, adapting to life and needs post WWII.  Furniture design was minimalistic and organic, using a range of materials, textures, and tones. Technology was progressing during this time, and MCM design embraced and reflected these advances.

MCM was a move away from ornate styling of times past, embracing simple, functional, and stylish designs that quickly became lasting in their popularity. As time and design have progressed and changed, MCM design has remained an enduring style, and has for good reason continued to be a popular choice among both residential and commercial customers.
