Mid-Century Modern Ceramics
MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE
Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that well describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living.
ORIGINS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged during the mid-20th century
- Informed by European modernism, Bauhaus, International style, Scandinavian modernism and Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture
- A heyday of innovation in postwar America
- Experimentation with new ideas, new materials and new forms flourished in Scandinavia, Italy, the former Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in Europe
CHARACTERISTICS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Simplicity, organic forms, clean lines
- A blend of neutral and bold Pop art colors
- Use of natural and man-made materials — alluring woods such as teak, rosewood and oak; steel, fiberglass and molded plywood
- Light-filled spaces with colorful upholstery
- Glass walls and an emphasis on the outdoors
- Promotion of functionality

VINTAGE MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The mid-century modern era saw leagues of postwar American architects and designers animated by new ideas and new technology. The lean, functionalist International-style architecture of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus eminences Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius had been promoted in the United States during the 1930s by Philip Johnson and others. New building techniques, such as “post-and-beam” construction, allowed the International-style schemes to be realized on a small scale in open-plan houses with long walls of glass.
Materials developed for wartime use became available for domestic goods and were incorporated into mid-century modern furniture designs. Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, who had experimented extensively with molded plywood, eagerly embraced fiberglass for pieces such as the La Chaise and the Womb chair, respectively.
Architect, writer and designer George Nelson created with his team shades for the Bubble lamp using a new translucent polymer skin and, as design director at Herman Miller, recruited the Eameses, Alexander Girard and others for projects at the legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer.
Harry Bertoia and Isamu Noguchi devised chairs and tables built of wire mesh and wire struts. Materials were repurposed too: The Danish-born designer Jens Risom created a line of chairs using surplus parachute straps for webbed seats and backrests.
The Risom lounge chair was among the first pieces of furniture commissioned and produced by celebrated manufacturer Knoll, a chief influencer in the rise of modern design in the United States, thanks to the work of Florence Knoll, the pioneering architect and designer who made the firm a leader in its field. The seating that Knoll created for office spaces — as well as pieces designed by Florence initially for commercial clients — soon became desirable for the home.
As the demand for casual, uncluttered furnishings grew, more mid-century furniture designers caught the spirit.
Classically oriented creators such as Edward Wormley, house designer for Dunbar Inc., offered such pieces as the sinuous Listen to Me chaise; the British expatriate T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings switched gears, creating items such as the tiered, biomorphic Mesa table. There were Young Turks such as Paul McCobb, who designed holistic groups of sleek, blond wood furniture, and Milo Baughman, who espoused a West Coast aesthetic in minimalist teak dining tables and lushly upholstered chairs and sofas with angular steel frames.
Generations turn over, and mid-century modern remains arguably the most popular style going. As the collection of vintage mid-century modern chairs, dressers, coffee tables and other furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom and elsewhere on 1stDibs demonstrates, this period saw one of the most delightful and dramatic flowerings of creativity in design history.

Mado JOLAIN Anthropomorphic Stoneware Vase
By Mado Jolain
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
Stunning anthropomorphic ceramic vase by Mado JOLAIN, France, 1950s. Stoneware vase very close to Picasso's production, in terms of colors and design. Height : 9.1"(23.2cm), Diameter : 5"(12.6cm). Signed "m.j" under the base (see photos).
Mado Jolain was born in Paris in 1921. Under the Occupation, she joined the Paris School of Decorative Arts and the drawing and sculpture workshops of La Grande Chaumière. There she met René Legrand who turned more towards painting. Sensitized by the craze for ceramics which began before the war, Mado Jolain carried out her first attempts as a potter in the kiln of a utilitarian ceramics workshop, rue d'Alesia.
In 1946, Mado Jolain and René Legrand married and moved to Montrouge where René set up his painting studio. The ceramic workshop is not far away, in the 14th arrondissement. René Legrand shoots their first plays. Popular art, very popular in the decorative arts of the post-war period, was a great source of inspiration for them. They visit the Dijon Museum and the Museum of Popular Art and Traditions where they appreciate the shapes of utilitarian pottery.
In 1948, creations from the Mado Jolain workshop were exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Ateliers d'Art Décoratifs and at L'objet 1948, a landmark exhibition after the war, organized at the Galerie Denise Breteau, rue Bonaparte , Paris.
In 1950, the Mado Jolain ceramic workshop moved to Montrouge. René Legrand devoted himself more and more to painting, Klaus Schultze...
