Mid-century modern furniture — that is, the geometric, sculptural style popularised in 20th-century post-war America — may just be the most popular and collectable period in international design history.
With its playful bubble-like silhouettes and pairing of curves with sleek lines, it feels as relevant and chic now as it did 60 years ago.
London powerhouses such as Heal’s continue to produce designs from mid-century greats such as George Nelson, while affordable outlets including Habitat reimagine the era’s shapes in a vibrant, contemporary way.
For further inspiration on how to bring the mid-century into your home, check out our exclusive gallery of images including Palmetto wallpaper from Nina Campbell (£62 per metre, at osborneandlittle.com), a vintage coffee table by G-Plan and a rug by Vivienne Westwood at The Rug Company.
