Sometimes a Mid-Century Modern home was complete with built in shelving in the den or living room, kitchen cabinets that had tucked away counter space, that pulled out when needed, or laundry baskets built into bathroom walls, making each home of this time, very functional, yet unique. Along with the sometimes space-age like home design, much of the industrial design of this time used wood in a modern way, such as the Eames Molded Plywood chair, Noguchi table, or the sleek style of a Danish Modern designed piece of furniture, which is another aspect of the Mid-Century Modern era.
In typography, we’ve all seen it, Futura, Helvetica, Sans Serif… these are typefaces that brings a certain air of modernism with a vintage feel to print. They were sometimes cold in style, but warm in the way used, leaving the Mid-Century Modern era one that blends the two, warm and cold design, in a natural way. All three are commonly used today, in everything from movie credits to stationery to print ads, which just demonstrates another way that Mid-Century Modernism has held true and still stands strong. We can thank Wes Anderson for making Futura a more common type these days.
Over the years, we have featured a lot of really great homes, here on Design*Sponge, filled with some beautiful Mid-Century Modern design. Here are just a few to have a peek at. Enjoy! — Erin
