Description

Interiors, Furniture, Design Details 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.

  • Nice book
Just what I needed for my coffee table. Lots of beautiful colorful pictures

  • Outstanding coffee table book packed with information and great photos!
A must own for all fans of mid-century modern! Extremely detailed with some superb photographs throughout. I know a small amount may be put off by the fact that this is, to me at least, seem to be a majority text versus photos, but it's easy to read and interesting throughout. Highly recommended!

  • Beautiful book
This is a fabulous book. Informative and beautiful pictures. I’m reading it page for page but it will then also be an interesting coffee table book. Very happy with my purchase.

  • Great inspiration, a lot of text
There are beautiful pictures, both new and old. I especially liked the section that focused on some of the regional styles. The book touches on things you wouldn't really think about at first, like patterns and materials. I did notice that there is a lot of text that is interesting to read, but there are times where the pictures and text doesn't match up. I think that is because the text is more general and the pictures are just examples. Together they don't exactly work, but separate they are extremely interesting to look at and read. For the pictures, there are footnotes that explain the styling choice and designer, which is nice. ... show more

  • Great read
Purchased this book for my son-in-law for his birthday. He loves it. He got a lot of great decorating tips out of it and keeps referring back to it. Well made. Hard cover and bound well

  • Too few pictures, too much pointless text
I was highly disappointed with this book - I'm being generous with 3 stars. There's just too much dull text in this book. Maybe my expectations didn't match the author's intent, but with books like this I expect lots of cool, inspiring pictures, with some captions talking about the items in the photo, maybe a little history, who designed the items, etc. This book was light on the photos, and had page after page of sleep-inducing text (seriously) that for the most part didn't really add anything to the book. The first page could have started out, "to understand Mid-Century Modern design, we must first go back to when humans invented the wheel" because that's how pertinent the text felt to me, and how "academic" it felt. If you're looking for details on what pieces to buy, how to identify "the style", how to set up rooms, or just general inspiration, there are much better books out there. ... show more
