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.

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.

Christofle Osiris & Cluny Crystal Glass Service for Six, 24 Pieces, France 2005
Christofle Osiris & Cluny Crystal Glass Service for Six, 24 Pieces, France 2005

Christofle Osiris & Cluny Crystal Glass Service for Six, 24 Pieces, France 2005

By Christofle

Located in SANT ADRIÀ DE BESÒS, ES

An exceptional and remarkably preserved 24-piece crystal glass service by Christofle Paris, presented in its original Christofle boxes and comprising a complete table setting for six. The service combines two distinguished Christofle crystal collections: the sculptural Osiris stemware and the complementary Cluny Old-Fashioned glasses. Created by designer Bernard Yot, the Osiris collection was introduced by Christofle in 1991, drawing its inspiration from the aquatic and botanical world of ancient Egypt. Its distinctive decoration evokes the forms of lotus flowers and papyrus reeds, translated here into an elegant cut-crystal motif rising from the base of each bowl. The Osiris crystal pattern was produced during the period 1999–2005. The service includes three graduated Osiris stemware forms — water, red wine and white wine — creating a beautifully balanced formal table setting. Each glass retains its original Christofle label, an especially desirable detail for collectors and a clear indication that the service has never been used. Completing the ensemble are six Christofle Cluny...

Set of Oyster Plates, France, 1950s

Located in Auribeau sur Siagne, FR

Charming set of four French ceramic oyster plates dating from the 1950s, featuring a colorful hand-painted floral decoration. Each circular plate is molded with six individual oyster compartments arranged around a raised central well, traditionally intended for lemon, sauce or condiments. The cream-colored ground is decorated with stylized red and green floral motifs, accented by dotted cobalt-blue outlines and a blue-speckled rim. Both functional and highly decorative, these plates embody the playful character of mid-century French tableware. Their sculptural molded form and vibrant decoration make them equally appealing for serving seafood or as decorative wall pieces.

Piero Fornasetti Porcelain Plate Tema e Variazioni No. 224, Lina Cavalieri

By Piero Fornasetti

Located in Downingtown, PA

Piero Fornasetti Porcelain Plate, Tema e Variazioni No. 224, Lina Cavalieri 1980s This Piero Fornasetti porcelain plate from the Tema e Variazioni series presents the face of the Italian opera singer Lina Cavalieri fragmented and repeated across the well in a dense field of overlapping crescents, so that only the eyes and brows of each impression remain visible. The lithographic transfer is printed in black and gray on a white ground, and the scale-like repetition reads at a distance as an abstract pattern before resolving into dozens of watching eyes. Numbered 224 in the series, it is among the more unusual and graphically inventive of the Tema e Variazioni designs, and it demonstrates the Surrealist wit and optical play that defined Fornasetti’s approach to the decorative arts. Dimensions Diameter: 10 inches (25.4 cm) Height: 1 inch (2.5 cm) Marks Printed to the reverse with the Fornasetti eye...
