With a great sense of ingenuity, the Mid Century movement spanned from the1930's to 1960's and strongly influenced architecture and interior design. Grounded in the principle that function should determine form, this time period introduced new materials for manufacturing furniture and home accessories. In addition to a cleaner cut of wood, Mid Century design features elements such as vinyl and glass. Opportunities to mix and match custom components allowed the design process to be adaptable to the customer. The use of pliable materials lead to simple lines and organic curves. Smooth surfaces along with hair pin and tapered legs are just a few of the distinctive trademark looks of Mid Century Modern decor.
