DESIGN SERIES: Mid-Century Modern

Mid-Century Modern is a term used in architecture, as well as in graphic, interior and furniture design. As the name implies it refers to a distinct era in design, from mid 1930's through mid 1960's. It is characterized by clean lines, low-slung furniture, lots of wood details and Danish influences.
