Mid-Century Modern Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets
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 legendary 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.
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.

Biography
Claudio Salocchi (March 22, 1934 – December 7, 2012) was an Italian designer and architect.
Born in Milan in 1934, he graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano. He taught Building Distribution at Milan’s Politecnico di Milano and Architectural Composition at Rome’s Valle Giulia La Sapienza Faculty.
In 1965, he opened his own design studio, and two years later began a long collaboration with Sormani, with whom he exhibited at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile that same year. That year, Salocchi presented the Ellisse collection for Sormani, which became the first company to experiment with extruded aluminum.
In 1973, he founded the « Doorty Research Center » with his friends and colleagues Ugo Carrega and Vincenzo Ferrari, with whom he exhibited in 1968 and 1973 at the 14th and 15th Milan Triennales, presenting the film Healthy Objects, Sick objects. In 1979, he won the Compasso d’Oro award for Metrosistema kitchen equipment for homes, produced by Alberti Cucine, also receiving two mentions for two other projects. In 1987, he was again mentioned in the XIV edition of the award.
A member of the Association pour les dessins et modèles industriels since 1967, he was vice-president from 1988 to 1990. 4] He has been curator and jury member of various design awards, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards in 2004 and 2006.

Story
Italian furniture pioneer Sormani was founded in 1961 in Arosio by designer Luigi Sormani (1932-2017). The company was an early advocate of modernized production techniques – rejecting the slow, traditional craft techniques and hardwoods so commonly used in the 1950s, in favor of new materials such as Rio rosewood (first imported by Sormani), lacquered wood, then plastic and aluminum in the 1960s and 1970s.
Sormani presented its first collection at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1961. This collection, known as Fleeting by Studio ABC, was one of the first modular cabinet systems. In 1966, Sormani began producing thermoformed objects, such as armchair shells, accessories and accent pieces, using molds (a technology derived from the automotive industry which, at the time, was only used for electric household appliances). The Nike and Auriga armchairs by Richard Neagle are prime examples. In the same year, Sormani was the first to experiment with extruded aluminum, with Claudio Salocchi’s Ellisse Collection (1967). During this period, Sormani also established and expanded into the American and Japanese markets, where success was immediate. In 1968, he began a collaboration with architect-designer Gio Ponti, which resulted in a range of colorful storage units.
In the early 1970s, Sormani continued to research and analyze the various possibilities offered by new materials. With the creation of an engineering division in the early 1980s, he carried out a number of turnkey projects, operating at all levels of engineering and residential and contract architecture, including the complete restoration and interior decoration of hotels, offices, banks, government buildings, universities, etc.
Over the years, Sormani has collaborated with many important Italian designers, including Joe Colombo, Gio Ponti, Carlo De Carli, Claudio Salocchi, Cesare Casati, Emanuele Ponzio, Nani Prina, Antonello Mosca, Fabrizio Cocchia, Gianni Songia, De Pas, D’Urbino, & Lomazzi, Studio A.R.D.I.T.I., Studio ABC (Achilli...
