Mid-century modernist



If good design is a balance of aesthetics and utility, the craft peaked in the years between 1945–1970. This era of modernism hit the design sweet spot: functional beauty. Finding harmony between the natural and the manmade, designers like Bertoia, Braakman, Deam, Eames, Ekselius, Heywood-Wakefield, Pierre Guariche, Jacobsen, Juhl, Kagen, Kjaerholm, Knoll, Loewy, McCobb, Noguchi, Nelson, Paulin, Prouvé, Pucci, Risom, Saarinen, Schultz, Van der Rohe, Vignelli, Vodder, Wegner, and Wormley created objects that were not merely easy on the eyes, but appealing because they served their purpose with organic grace.
