In the USA for example, the movement largely reflected\nthe Bauhaus movement. In contrast, Scandinavian designers opted for clean-lined\nsimplicity and created furniture designed to integrate with nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/collections\/mid-century-modern.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Florence Knoll Bassett's mid-century living room, Coconut Grove, Florida, 2003 by Todd Eberle\" class=\"wp-image-24509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Florence-Knoll-Bassetts-Living-Room-Coconut-Grove-Florida-2003-by-Todd-Eberle.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/collections\/mid-century-modern.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Eileen Gray's mid-century Bibendum Chair at the E-1027 Villa\" class=\"wp-image-24510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Eileen-Gay-Bibendum-Chair-at-the-E-1027-Villa.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the characteristics of mid-century furniture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mid-century furniture can often\nbe identified by its classic, understated look. Ornamentation and detailing were\noften abandoned in favour of uncluttered, sleek lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many popular styles of furniture\nfrom this period are crafted using solid woods such as teak, elm, beech and\nrosewood. Veneer was also used prominently and often lasts as long as solid\nwood furniture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What materials were used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The period between the 1940s and 60s was one of great innovation and technological advances. As such, many mid-century designers made use of materials such as plywood, wire, chrome and plastic. If you\u2019re looking for furniture from this era, keep an eye out for these materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designers such as Charles and Ray\nEames were instrumental in bringing plywood into our homes. After meticulous\nexperimentation they were able to warp it to create comfortable curved shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designers like Verner Panton were\nalso in the midst of experimentation during this period, this time with\nplastic. Until now plastic had been used to mimic wood but Panton put it centre\nstage in designs like the Panton Chair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/collections\/mid-century-modern.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Isamu Noguchi's mid-century Noguchi Table in a living room setting\" class=\"wp-image-24511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Isamu-Noguchi-Table.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/collections\/mid-century-modern.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Charles &amp; Ray Eames' mid-century Lounge Chair for Vitra\" class=\"wp-image-24512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Charles-Ray-Eames-Lounge-Chair-for-Vitra.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are the most famous mid-century designers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the biggest names in furniture are mid-century designers and their work remains incredibly popular today. Danish designer Arne Jacobsen is renowned for the Egg and Series 7 Chairs, erring towards a Scandinavian approach to the movement. In contrast, furniture by the likes of Eero Saarinen experimented with new materials like plastic and wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were also a large number of female designers who helped spearhead the mid-century design movement. Take Greta M. Grossman for example. Grossman was among the first designers to introduce the Scandinavian aesthetic to California&#8217;s blossoming modernist scene. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.heals.com\/blog\/embrace-mid-century-modern-style\/\">LEARN HOW TO EMBRACE MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover everything there is to know about the mid-century design movement and the designers who championed it, such as Eero Saarinen &#038; Greta M.
