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.

Hermès Paris Set of 4 Stirrup Napkin Rings in Solid Silver & Vermeil circa 1970

By Hermès

Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR

Elegant and very rare set of four Hermès Paris stirrup-shaped napkin rings, comprising two examples in solid silver and two in vermeil. The design is a direct reference to the historic equestrian heritage of Hermès. The stirrup, an unmistakable symbol of saddlery and horseback riding, is transformed here into a highly refined table accessory. The lines are clean, sculptural, and beautifully balanced, with the understated sophistication so characteristic of Hermès design. Two napkin rings are crafted in solid silver and two in vermeil, meaning solid silver covered with a fine layer of gold. Vermeil combines the quality and weight of silver with the warmer appearance of gilding, creating a particularly elegant contrast within the set. On one of the two vermeil examples, the gilding appears lighter and is less pronounced. This is entirely consistent with normal age-related wear: vermeil is a delicate surface finish and naturally shows some softening and fading over time, particularly on pieces that have been handled and used. These Hermès napkin rings were originally offered in pairs, each pair combining one solid-silver example with one vermeil example, in the traditional spirit of a matching setting for him and her. The present set is therefore especially desirable and very rare as a group of four, bringing together two complete pairs: two in solid silver and two in vermeil. Each napkin ring is signed HERMÈS PARIS and bears its precious-metal hallmarks, with an engraved number also visible on some examples. These marks further reflect the quality of the workmanship and materials used. The workmanship is especially refined, with a subtle and timeless elegance. The stirrup shape is beautifully resolved: discreet, elegant, and immediately evocative of the Maison’s equestrian identity. For convenient storage at home, the four napkin rings are accompanied, as a complimentary extra, by a Hermès felt pouch originally designed for storing a watch. It is included as a small gift to allow the pieces to be kept neatly and safely when not in use. A beautiful, very rare and distinctive Hermès table...
