Why Mid-Century Design Will Never Be Out of Fashion

By Mark Jennings


Sometimes you'll hear people say that Mid-Century furniture, design and architecture is having a 'rebirth'. Pieces of furniture from the fifties has been resurging for around twenty years now and it shows no signs and symptoms of reducing at all.

There are very few things about which one can make so sure a pronouncement of immortality as, for example, a George Nelson platform bench a Charles Eames chair or Noguchi table. Any time something reaches that level of design purity, it will continue to be popular and to be rediscovered persistently by every single new generation.

Designer Paul Frankl once said: "Style is the external expression of the inner spirit of any given time." The truth is, that the exuberant style of the Mid-Century had much more 'staying power' than imagined. Its boundaries were not hard-edged, by having a virtual cut-off line at 1960.

Instead, it really is everlasting heartily into following millennium, still identifying modernism for our age. Its prototypical, streamline and modern form wasn't just the cutting edge of a single decade, but overaching appearance vocabulary that signifies the best part of a century.

The frank manufacturing and unconventional shapes of the nineteen fifties that once was considered odd in scholarly groups no longer appear to be outrageous. In light of the post-modernist whimsies and brutal deconstructionism of the 1980's, '50s home furniture appears sophisticated, streamlined and modern: that often inspire contemporary designers as well. The desire for this kind of home furniture is, also, reflected in the growing number of new stores and websites about mid-century furniture and by the reissue -by the Herman Miller Company after years of customers' requestes- of the classics pieces from Charles and Ray Eames or George Nelson that represented the apex of '50s design in America and abroad.
