Mid-century is Modern - Again!
The era that gave us mass-produced furniture and the opportunity to "experiment" with our décor is making a come-back in the lush set designs of AMC's hit show, Mad Men. From Pete's chic apartment to the Draper's domestic dream home, everyone seems to be buzzing about mid-century modern, and rightly so.
With whispers of clothing lines coming out based on the fashions from the show, and online forums filled with questions about where to find Dan Draper's office furniture, the trend towards mid-century modern is firmly in place. Mid-century modern furniture - your grandmother's furniture - is classic, cheap, and easy to find if you know where to look. Outside of it being handed down from your relatives when you moved out of the house to go to college, you can find these "antiques of the future" in thrift shops, estate sales, antique auctions and online at sites specializing in mid-century modern.
Mixing these classics with your existing décor is easy. In fact they look fantastic and add a lot of character when mixed with other styles. Furniture of that era is smaller in profile than many modern alternatives, so works really well in smaller spaces. You can even reupholster these pieces to match your color scheme and still do it for less than the cost of new furniture.
Danish Modern
The most abundant and easy to find mid-century modern is Danish Modern, or Danish Teak as it is sometimes known. As Mad Men Set Director Amy Wells points out, when asked about her work on set. "I want to make Mad Men look real, as if the people really have those pieces. It's important that they be imperfect, not iconic. A lot of people had Danish modern at the time because it was reasonably priced, and much of it still exists because it was so well made."
Some designer's names to keep your eyes open for would be Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, N.O. Moller, Arne Jacobsen.
This is a fantastic example of a teak credenza from the late 50s by Finn Juhl. Juhl was the first modern Danish furniture designer to be recognized internationally. He created a new style of Danish furniture that embraced form as much as it did function. The world noticed, earning Juhl the unofficial title of Father of Danish Modernism. You can see more credenzas and mid-century modern furniture examples for sale.
