Midcentury Modern's Influence in Furniture Design
Despite its popularity, Midcentury Modern design has its roots in functionality. Many Midcentury Modern designs were born out of a need to create more efficient living spaces given the post-war housing shortage.Later on, Midcentury Modern design would come to be associated with the Atomic Age and all things space-age. It's now considered a classic style, but somehow it still lives up to the "modern" in its name.
If you're hungry to explore some of the most classic designs, we recommend getting into the designer duo Charles and Ray Eames, and architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Eameses believed that good design should be accessible to everyone, and their furniture is known for its simplicity and functionality. You've probably seen the famous Eames chair.
Frank Lloyd Wright was a big proponent of Midcentury Modern design, highly influential, and his homes are some of the most iconic examples of the style.
