Mid-Century Modern Wall Decorations
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.

16 Foot Tapestry by Joyce Evans and Dovecot Studios 1965
By Dovecot Studios, The Edinburgh Tapestry Co., Joyce Conwy Evans
Located in South Charleston, WV
200 inches (16 feet 8 inches) wide by 7 foot 10" (94") tall. Wool. Designed by UK Designer Joyce Conwy Evans who was commissioned in 1964 by the Eastbourne Water Works in England. Titled "The Elements" and depicting human figures celebrating life and the various elements of; such as water rain, snow, wind, plants, stars and the sun with figures in an abstract depiction.
London designer Joyce Conwy Evans's career has spanned over sixty years. She designed over eighteen tapestries for Dovecot Studios including major commissions for the new Park Lane Hilton Hotel in 1962 and Trinity Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral and this one. She is a noted costume designer creating costumes and set designs for Sadler's Wells and Glyndebourne Opera. In recent years Evans designed the interiors for the Inn at Little Washington in Virginia. Evans worked for many years for Sir Hugh Casson, a former president of the Royal Academy, who was commissioned to design interiors for Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
The Edinburgh Tapestry Co. (now known as Dovecot Studios) produced this by hand upon a large loom and it is significantly important for the company and designer with staggering complexity clearly evident. The plaque that accompanies this piece lists the 5 weavers who produced it (all of whom achieved the title Master weavers) and are all renowned in their own right:
Archie O. Brennan, who would come to direct the company.
Douglas Grierson, who gave 50 years to the company.
Maureen Hodge who was the first female weaver to apprentice at the company, and achieved international recognition for her work and designs.

Harry Wright.
