Mid-Century Modern: Interiors, Furniture, Design Details (Conran Octopus Interiors S.)

DIVP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"The 1950’s house was a scientific triumph, designed in a laboratory and tested on inhabitants of all ages before being built for the masses. Never had homes been so thoroughly contemporary, with antiques and period styles entirely banished. IMid-Century Modern/I explores the interior decor of this seminal decade, concentrating on all aspects of a home's decoration—walls, flooring, surfaces, lighting, and, of course, furniture. Case studies examine beautiful present-day homes that exhibit mid-century style in an exemplary way, and suggest ideas for taking the 1950’s look—complete with collector's pieces—and mixing and matching it with elements from other eras./P/DIV
