A Mid-Sized, Mid-Century Modern History Lesson
Mid-Century Modern is a design style historic in nature, but also a current trend. Many people are decorating their homes in the MCM style, with furniture and products that are both brand new and antique pieces. The term Mid-Century Modern is relatively new, it was not until 1984 when author Cara Greenburg used the term in her book Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950’s. The retro-futuristic style movement developed out of post-World War II period, a time when families were in need of a simplistic style and a family-focused design direction. Historically, this design movement can teach us a lot about the American idealological timeline, allowing us a glimpse from post-war hardships through the Mid-Century Modern resurrgence happening today.
