let's chat about mid century modern design

Hi friends! Today I'm yapping all my thoughts about "mid century modern"

It's hard to go anywhere with an interior design project without running into these words somewhere. I see them used so often and really often used pretty incorrectly. So I wanted to share a little bit about the mid century modernist movement.

I always see people treating mcm like just another interior design aesthetic, so I want to give a really brief overview of the history of modernism and how it let to the mid century modern style we know today. I talk about the case study house project, the rise of modernism in the US in the 50s and 60s, and the difference between modernist principles and midcentury fashion/style. I also talk about the confused "mid century modern revival" that happened in the 2000 and 2010s, and how I think you should approach shopping for furniture if you like mid century modern style.

Let me know what you think so we can nerd out together !!
