Been watching Mad Men, really like how everyone dresses nice, more “classy” furniture, and cars. (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Mid-century modernism was always my favorite

Mid-century modernism

Thanks for giving me a name for it! :)

You’ll find it often abbreviated MCM in listings. Just a heads up, you’re not alone. Vintage MCM furniture can be pricey.

Much of the design for the wood furniture was borrowed from Danish cabinetry. You may have an easier time finding reasonably priced second-hand Danish furniture than a vintage MCM piece by Lane.

No shit it can be expensive. Even a reproduction Eams Group Management Chair can go for nearly $1000.

Fun fact, the Eams Group Management Chairs seen in Mad Men (like Don’s desk chair) are actually real/vintage ones.

Mid-century modern design is based off of both Bauhaus (German) design and De Stijl (danish) design styles in the post-war era.
