Mid Century modern furniture design can be described as the development of style that started around the early 1930s and continued to the mid 1960s. It is noted for the mass production of furniture, lamps, kitchen appliances clocks, radios and other household goods. Materials that were not traditionally used previously, were combined to produce new and exciting forms. Plywood, fiberglass, wire and aluminum are some of the materials that were introduced during this time. Typically the lines were simple and the quality was high.
The Mid Century style spread throughout the world. Famous designers such as Ray & Charles Eames, George Nelson & Harry Bertoia are just a few who influenced the movement in the United States. In Japan, Isamu Noguchi became a giant. Hans Weger, Finn Juhl, & Arne Jacobson represented the Scandinavians. The names continue. Today, Mid Century Modern furniture is very collectible. The well-known designer names are highly sought.
