According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/1stdibs-e-commerce-report-2024\/\">1stDibs\u2019 recent e-commerce report<\/a>, &#8220;mid-century modern&#8221; was one of the most-searched furniture terms in 2024. Many of the pieces associated with the style are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/\">indisputable icons<\/a> today. Case in point: five chair designs that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2025\/01\/24\/mid-century-modern-five-chairs\/\">Dezeen\u2019s new video<\/a> characterizes as the period&#8217;s most impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranked first by Dezeen is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/eames-chair-fiberglass\/\">fiberglass Shell chair<\/a>, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/charles-and-ray-eames\/\">Charles and Ray Eames<\/a>. Designed in 1949, it is a prime example of how the Eameses aimed to create pieces that could be mass-produced and so available to Americans at an affordable price point. Next in the Dezeen ranking are two seats by Danish designers: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/arne-jacobsen-egg-chair\/\">Arne Jacobsen&#8217;s Egg chair <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/wishbone-chair\/\">Hans J. Wegner&#8217;s Wishbone chair<\/a>. The former is made of hard polyurethane foam and encases those who sit on it, while the latter is constructed of natural materials, including a woven paper-cord seat, and has a Y-shaped back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dezeen&#8217;s fourth and fifth picks are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/harry-bertoia\/\">Harry Bertoia&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/diamond-chair\/\">Diamond chair<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/designs\/panton-chair\/\">Panton chair<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/verner-panton\/\">Verner Panton<\/a>. Both have sculptural forms made possible by the new materials used for their production: welded steel rods and molded plastic, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These five pieces are indisputably important. Whether they&#8217;re modernism&#8217;s most impactful seating designs, though, is a matter for debate \u2014 there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/mid-century-modern-chairs\/\">many more iconic chairs from the period<\/a>. Which all of us design fans can certainly celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-carousel\">\n\t\t\n<h3 class=\"pdp-carousel-heading\">Shop Mid-Century Modern Chairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper block-cd12d80f\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper gallery\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/lounge-chairs\/arne-jacobsen-egg-chair-fritz-hansen-christianshavn-fabric-upholstery\/id-f_35777692\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/arne-jacobsen-egg-chair-for-fritz-hansen-in-christianshavn-fabric-upholstery-for-sale\/1121189\/f_357776921692778691264\/35777692_datamatics.jpg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen Egg Chair \"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"350px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"100%\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tArne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen Egg Chair \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/chairs\/hans-j-wegner-early-stamped-carl-hansen-son-ch-24-wishbone-chair-1950s\/id-f_41472402\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/hans-j-wegner-early-stamped-carl-hansen-son-ch-24-wishbone-chair-1950s-for-sale\/f_37931\/f_414724021726264699432\/f_41472402_1726264699962_bg_processed.jpg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Hans J.
