MID CENTURY MODERN

Mid Century Modern is what I want to talk about today. Wow, I cannot believe it has been such a long time since my last post, more than a month has passed. The reason for this lacuna is a huge amount of visualisation work I have done for a project developer. For which I did the digital interior design as well.

But more about that in a later post, after my client has gone public with this project.

Mid Century Modern is one of the styles, amongst others, that I used for some of the digital interior design. I can’t wait to share the end-result with you. I love the clean, uncluttered lines. The skewed feet of a table, the bronze details here and there. Functionality and glamour combined. And isn’t it great that all these golden oldies are re-discovered again? No updates necessary as the designs are as perfect as they have always been. Any small alteration to the design and the whole thing falls apart. That’s one of the characteristics of perfect “high” design.

So, in anticipation of my recent visualisations and digitial interior designs, here is some real (as opposed to virtual) Mid Century Modern eye candy, enjoy!

Classic Mid Century Glamour, I’m sure lot’s of these pieces can be found at 1stDibs. I think the art on the wall is a photograph by Slim Aarons – via Love is Speed

Hi All, thanks so much for the overwhelmingly large amount of comments and feedback! I only found out this week that most of your comments were stored in my Spam box, hence the delay or lack of any action on my side. So sorry for my ignorance, I will keep an eye on this in the future. Because I really appreciate all the interaction. All the best, Mac
