Mid-Century Modern: Projects, Journals & Ideas

9 Projects 32 Journals

About Discussions Projects9 Journals32

Mid-century modern refers to design and architecture produced roughly between the late 1940s and the 1960s, characterized by clean lines, open plans, natural materials, and a close relationship between interior and landscape. Its furniture and buildings remain a reference point for designers working today.

Community work under this topic includes original furniture pieces such as chairs and coffee tables, storage and product designs, and residential projects that either restore 1960s houses to their structural core or reimagine the style for current living. Renovations of desert and coastal homes appear alongside more abstract explorations of form and color.
