Summary

Interiors, Furniture, Design Details

The 1950's house was a scientific triumph, designed in a laboratory and tested on inhabitants of all ages before being built for the masses。 Never had homes been so thoroughly contemporary, with antiques and period styles entirely banished。 Mid-Century Modern explores the interior decor of this seminal decade, concentrating on all aspects of a home's decoration-walls, flooring, surfaces, lighting, and, of course, furniture。

Case studies examine beautiful present-day homes that exhibit mid-century style in an exemplary way, and suggest ideas for taking the 1950's look-complete with collector's pieces-and mixing and matching it with elements from other eras。

Really dives into the history of mid-century design。 The photographs are not the highest quality, but that's to be expected in a vintage setting。 Overall, it's a great book for those wanting to learn about mid-century modern interiors in-depth。 Really dives into the history of mid-century design。 The photographs are not the highest quality, but that's to be expected in a vintage setting。 Overall, it's a great book for those wanting to learn about mid-century modern interiors in-depth。 。。。more

This is an excellent reference about mid-century modern furniture design。 It gives some of the historical background in additional to all the photos。 I know I will refer to this book often prior to making furniture purchases。

Best part was the pictures - gave us some great decorating ideas for our 1950s home。

Gorgeous eye candy; skimmed the text。

Great photos, but I did not find the text to be able to tell me much。 For example, the chapter on ceramics of the 1950's focused on northern European styles。。。and then didn't really show any photos of what it was describing。 At least show the piece on the page you mention it on, that's only fair。 Great photos, but I did not find the text to be able to tell me much。 For example, the chapter on ceramics of the 1950's focused on northern European styles。。。and then didn't really show any photos of what it was describing。 At least show the piece on the page you mention it on, that's only fair。 。。。more

this was a pretty basic narrative about mid-century design, but it hit all of the major points and has lovely photographs of some of my favorite pieces of furniture。。。
