Mid-Century Modern Design

Mid-Century Modern Design This generally describes mid-20th century developments in modern design, architecture and urban development from

roughly 1933 to 1965. The term was employed in 1950s but was reaffirmed in 1983 by Cara Greenberg in the title of her

book, Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s (Random House), celebrating the style that is now recognized by

scholars and museums worldwide as a significant design movement.

Architecture

Visiting a Wright house interior to realize the mid-century modern movement in the U.S. was really an American reflection

of the International and Bauhaus movement, including the works of Gropius, Le Corbusier and Mies ca n der Rohe. Brazilian

and Scandinavian architects were very influential at this time, with a style characterized by clean simplicity and integration

with nature. Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural designs are frequently employed in residential structures.

“I believe a house is more a home by being a work of Art.” - Frank Lloyd Wright, The Natural House, 1954

Industrial Design

Glassware, ceramics, tableware, lighting and furniture were some of the genres for the products created.

printer and publisher of Linen Type postcards pioneering lithography with his “Art Colortone” process.
