Historical Context

Mid-Century Design: The mid-20th century is characterized by the style of Mid-Century Design. This style movement began in the USA. In the 1950s, the societal and economic boom led to a high demand for modern interior design. This style phase was particularly characterized by simplicity, which produced timeless and elegant design classics. The focus was on furniture with clear shapes and lines, without frills or ornamentation. Organic shapes, various new materials, and a diverse color palette were experimented with. This resulted in designs like the "Tulip Chair" by Eero Saarinen, the fiberglass shell chairs by Charles and Ray Eames, or the Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen. Mid-Century Design spread throughout Europe and found its specific expression in many countries. Particularly well-known is Scandinavian Design with its renowned representatives such as Hans J. Wegner, Alvar Aalto, or Grete Jalk.
