Mid-Century Modern 1950 – 1970

Our Mid-Century Modern collection is defined by crisp, Scandinavian-inspired lines, lightweight materials, and the “starlight” pinholes and rocket-science silhouettes of a space-obsessed culture. That’s because the 1950s and ‘60s saw a cosmic shift away from tradition and toward a compellingly “modern” vision of less is more. The result? Less ornamentation and formality, more cheery optimism and laid-back cool.
