Mid Century Modern Accessories

Mid Century Modern décor and design doesn't have a true start/stop point but it's noted to be around the 1930's thru the 1960's. 

Mid Century Modern was a combination of the designs coming out of the Bauhaus designs from Germany and the new technology of materials developed from WWI and WWII. 

The distinguishing features of this style consist of a classic, understated look, and clean lines with minimal fuss.

• Minimal ornamentation
• Form follows function (Florence Knoll)
• Colors are natural with loud pops of color
• Uncluttered and sleek lines with both organic and geometric forms
• An exploration of different traditional as well as non-traditional materials
• The juxtaposition of different, and sometimes contrasting materials
