The term Mid-century modern is frequently misunderstood and is a broad term used to describe the architecture, interior design and furniture during the period after World War II to the mid-1970s.
The phrase was first used when art historian, Cara Greenberg, published her book in 1984. She describes how and why mid-century furniture developed and identifies some of the iconic designers between the 1940s until the late 1960s.
sideboards were becoming more popular and one of the significant changes to modern homes during this time was the addition of Dining Furniture. Danish Rosewood Sideboards were another feature that appeared in-house designs during this time. It was only towards the at the end of World War II that modern design movement started to progress.
Mid-century modern furniture design reflected these characteristics and introduced more curves, geometric shapes and stylised angles investing in new technologies.
During the baby boom era in the late 40s and 50s, architects and designers experimented with new forms that focused on the flow of moving inside and outside. These structures also aimed to create more privacy for homeowners. One of the most prominent features of a rosewood sideboard is that it is also designed to be multi-purpose and furniture pieces were not restricted to having a single function. Household accessories also consisted of simple designs and reflected the new era. Some examples of well-known designers during the period of mid-century modern design. read more
