Description

The Mid-Century Modern movement in the U.S. was an American reflection of the International Style originating in the Bauhaus movement. But there is much more to Mid-Century Modern than the buildings from the major architects. Mid-Century Modern gained wide following in California and beyond to thousands of homes designed for the returning GIs in massive Levittown developments. Mid-Century Modern also meant the spread of design principles and the color palettes that saturated everything from kitchen appliances to automobiles. We will discuss the varied aspects of Mid-Century Modern going beyond architecture to general design trends and developments.
