Mid-Century Modern Living Room Sets
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.

Set of white and green 6 "Tulip" chairs, Eero Saarinen, s. XX Finland
Located in Valladolid, ES
Extraordinary set of six “Tulip 151” model chairs designed by Eero Saarinen. Widely recognized model, a classic in the history of design. Simple structure, the seat itself is made of white fiberglass. The four classic legs have been eliminated to make way for a large central pedestal with a circular base and thin shaft made of cast aluminum with a white coating. The smooth transition between these two parts, base and shaft, makes it a graceful icon. Model 151 is more difficult to find on the market, it is distinguished from the other in that the interior of the shell is upholstered in olive green, both seat and backrest; cushion in the same fabric. This is an exercise in simplification typical of the Mid-Century. The circle and the oval are two elements always present in Saarinen's designs, because in addition to being essential shapes they refer to the organic, and it cannot be forgotten that man himself is an organic element. It is a sculpture design, timeless and eternal.
When referring to the history of this design, it is always said that for Saarinen the “lower neighborhood of the legs”, that is, what is observed under the chairs and tables, was a “confusing, restless and ugly” world. ". To do this, he studied the best way to put an end to it and after five years he presented the “Tulip” or Pedestal Collection, introduced in 1958.
In good condition for its age and use, they present an organic production label (Sept. 2002).
Eero Saarinem
Prolific and versatile, Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was an innovator in the forms of architecture and furniture design. He did not want to be limited by the strict geometry of functionalism and embraced the sensuality and symbolism of curved forms. With the passage of time, his figure grows larger and his decisive contribution to modern architecture and his strong commitment to intuitive and humanized design are recognized.
He lived only 51 years, and died without seeing the construction of two of the works that have given him a prominent place in the history of architecture and gave architectural identity to the United States: the TWA terminal at Kennedy Airport in New York – today national monument – and the Gateaway arch of the city of San Luis, a tribute to the Americans who explored the West of the country, and which in its bold shape and complicated engineering perfectly symbolizes the challenge and adventure of that expansion. The monument was completed in 1965, four years after his death, and, like many of Saarinen's works, it provoked controversy at the time, although today it is a landmark.
Throughout his career, he practiced eclectic architecture, in which he gave each building an individual character that responded to the physical and symbolic needs of the client, although to do so he had to skip some premises of modern architecture and was accused of excessive or rhetorical by the guardians of modernity.
Eero Saarinen worked in the 1930s with Charles Eames, who had studied at Cranbrook Academy in Michigan, an institution dedicated to highlighting the fusion of form and function, material and idea, craft and technology. The Academy building had been designed precisely by the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, Eero's father.
Along with Charles Eames, Saarinen pioneered the design of furniture that adapted to the shapes of the human body and retained this interest in organic shapes and structures in his work as an architect, seeking to expand the expressive range of architecture. modern.
That is why his contribution in this field also left a strong mark: the Tulip table and chair, and the Womb armchair...
