Video Description
If you’ve gone to a furniture store recently, you have probably come in contact with mid-century modern furniture, even if you don’t really know what that is. Furniture inspired by the designs from the 1950s is everywhere today. So why has mid-century design been so popular for so long? Krista Hessey explains. Some prominent mid-century designers: Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Isamu Noguchi, George Nelson, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Arne Jacobsen, Eileen Gray, George Nakashima, Alvar Aalto. Today, shops like West Elm, CB2 and IKEA are full of mid-century-inspired pieces but there’s still a huge re-seller market too. Scroll through Pinterest or Instagram and you’ll find thousands of posts tagged #MidCenturyModern. The term is now a marketing tactic ubiquitous with modern style.
