Mid-century modern is a
nostalgic retro style of design often with elements of minimalism.
This style is a throwback to the 1940's – 1970's but is most
commonly related to 1950 to 1960 design, in among the world of 'Pop
Art'.
The main concept of
this style is functionality and fuss-free décor. This involves the
use of pared down forms and natural and organic shapes; this can
evidently be seen in the iconic mid-century modern 'Egg Chair'. The
whole idea is to achieve easy-to-use contemporary and to create a
seamless transition from interior to exterior. It provides an
uncomplicated, fresh interior whilst utilising contemporary patterns
to create a medley of functional comfort and chic style. Bold
geometrics, statement lighting, striking forms, strong sensuous
curves, simple lines and bright colours in whimsical motifs for a
strong graphic punch, are also very popular elements to Mid-Century
Modern interiors. The thing that really sets off this style to others
is the harmonious partnership of an earthy natural pallet paired with
splashes of rich saturated colours. So say 'Goodbye' to all those
pastel colours and 'Hello' to a whole new brighter you!
