Mid-Century Modern Wingback Chairs
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.

Prof. Karl Nothelfer
* 14 June 1900 ~~ + 20 May 1980
Since the beginning of the 15th century, the Nothelfer family of carpenters has been continuously resident in the former
town of Überlingen without interruption. Every carpenter at that time mastered
all the possibilities of woodworking: so did the Nothelfer. They could carpenter,
even carve altars and figures, and set them in gold, silver and paint.
(churches in Owingen and Hödingen]. Some family members lived and worked
and worked in Hedingen or Hödingen,like today the jubilarian Karl Nothelfer (this in 1975).
His father, Karl Anton Nothelfer, as the eldest of seven siblings, was able to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen.
Karl Anton Nothelfer, the eldest of seven siblings, was unable to take over his father's carpentry business in Überlingen.
He instead moved to the industrial town of Singen with his young wife Rosalie, née Hanner, from the
from Hohenzollern in 1896 and moved to the former Poststraße and founded his own carpenter's workshop.
He had a highsense of quality and form and was already a member of the German Werkbund before 1914.
Karl Nothelfer and his three siblings grew up in such air.
After attending school and the secondary school in Singen, the young Karl learned the carpenter's trade in his father's workshop then moved on to the Badische Landes-Kunstschule in Karlsruhe,
where he studied architecture. At that time the well-known furniture professor also worked there
Fritz Spannagel, born in Freiburg in 1891, who settled in 1938 at Ittendorf Castle near Meers-
burg (died 1957). In 1928, the gifted young architect received a teaching assignment at the
at the Karlsruhe School of Art, but followed his teacher Spannagel to Berlin in the same year.

Berlin Tischler-Schule, the later Bauschule für Raumgestaltung.
The furniture he created in Berlin became internationally known through many exhibitions and lectures.

series of brochures were published by Verlag Otto Maier, Ravensburg.
Karl Nothelfer continued to work intensively on the design of seating furniture in the years after 1945.
In 1950 he succeeded in the important invention of the two-legged skid-base chair, which has been

Even the most distinguished American furniture companies such as Miller or Knoll-International

of schoolroom furnishings. The architect Nothelfer thinks about himself,
that he made his main contribution in the field of seating furniture, although this was not

After the war, Prof. Nothelfer, like so many others, had to start all over again. He settled
