Mid-Century Modern Furniture
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.

Sculpta-Grille Bones Screen on Walnut Base by Richard Harvey, 1960s
Located in Culver City, CA
If a space-age honeycomb and a brutalist dream had a baby, it’d be this sculptural stunner.
**We ship worldwide—often for the same cost as stateside. Our rates are insane. Message for a quote**
This sculptural screen is part of the legendary “Sculpta-Grille” series by architect Richard Harvey, who brought space-age swagger to Mid Century architecture with his futuristic resin forms. Originally conceived for use in commercial spaces like banks, casinos, and mod lounges, these panels were designed to divide space and steal the show. Today, surviving examples are rare—and coveted by collectors, designers, and editors alike.
This particular beauty is the cleanest one we've come across: the resin is bright and crisp, and the walnut base is rich, warm, and glowing with just the right amount of vintage character. It’s photographed here in our gallery alongside a Marta Blomstedt style scalloped back chair. We currently have this paired with a Paul Evans credednza, Milo Baughman sofa, and Hans Wegner Papa bear chair and not only does this piece hold its own-- it steals the show and makes a bold mid century modern statement!
Use it as a room divider, sculpture, or gallery wall anchor. It’s not just décor—it’s a conversation-stopping design artifact.
And bonus: we also have a second screen available, with more patina and a softer, creamier buttery ivory tone. Display one solo for impact, or double up for a modular moment worthy of a museum.

Deeble Classic Modern Storage Bed & Attached Nightstand Set, Midcentury Walnut
By Pete Deeble
Located in Long Beach, CA
This piece is designed and hand-crafted by yours truly in Long Beach. The bed pictured is built from walnut, but I can use other woods upon request. The design is my own, inspired by the Scandinavian furniture of the 50's (Danish/Mid Century Modern). All joinery is mortise and tenon, which means it's strong and built to last forever.
The price listed here is for a queen bed (frame alone is 65" by 85"). We can make this a king or full as well.
The bottom of the bed is 8 1/2 inches off the ground, and the top of the headboard is about 39 inches off the ground, and there's about 13 inches from the top of the slats to the bottom of the headboard* (see note below). The mattress rests on slats, and I can put a thin sheet of plywood over the slats to give a uniform, platform-like surface upon request (some folks prefer just the slats- depends on your mattress). It has four drawers underneath, two that slide out on each side (in the picture there are only two long drawers that slide out to either side of the bed, I have since switched to four drawers). Each drawer is approximately 6 inches tall, 29 inches wide, and 27 inches deep**
My design approach on the drawers is to keep them recessed behind the edge of the bed, and to have them floating off the ground, so that visually the bed does not feel bulky like most storage beds...
