5 Mid Century Seats to Liven Your Living Room

So, what is Mid Century design, and why is it so popular? This beloved style is a fundamental chapter of design history and a familiar addition to contemporary interiors. It’s only a matter of time before you cross paths with an Eames chair at the office or a beautiful Barcelona at your local art museum—that is, if you haven’t already.

Known for its clean lines and superb craftsmanship, Mid Century design famously weathers evolving interior trends. Whether you’re on the hunt for an original icon or browsing modern pieces, one thing’s for certain: these inspired silhouettes are definitely worth the investment.

A Brief History

A product of post World War II, Mid Century design emerged in the 1940s in response to improved technologies and materials. The movement was a continuation of the Bauhaus sentiment—”good design for all”—and embraced mass production practices. Pieces from this era embodied clean lines, organic/geometric shapes, and functional silhouettes crafted from gorgeous woods and man-made materials (aluminum, steel, fiberglass, etc).

Despite constant emerging trends, Mid Century design remains incredibly popular today. This enduring style is a frequent player in contemporary interiors and furniture collections, as its versatile qualities complement just about every space.

Let’s discuss how you can introduce this iconic style into your home:
