Mid-century Modern: Interiors, Furniture, Design Details (Conran Octopus Interiors) Bradley Quinn

The 1950?s house was a scientific triumph, designed in a laboratory and tested on inhabitants of all ages before being built for the masses. Never had homes been so thoroughly contemporary, with antiques and period styles entirely banished. Mid-Century Modern explores the interior decor of this seminal decade, concentrating on all aspects of a home's decoration?walls, flooring, surfaces, lighting, and, of course, furniture. Case studies examine beautiful present-day homes that exhibit mid-century style in an exemplary way, and suggest ideas for taking the 1950?s look?complete with collector's pieces?and mixing and matching it with elements from other eras.
