Description

Mid-century modern design continues to dominate contemporary interiors, its forms still carrying the ideals of postwar optimism. But this enduring presence has evolved into something more complex: an obsession. Objects conceived for democratic accessibility have become luxury collectibles, fueling a global culture of marketplace dynamics that would be unrecognizable to their makers. Mid-Century Now investigates why these objects hold such power today. Through designer profiles, critical essays, and contemporary case studies, it examines how mid-century classics take on new meaning when lived with now, and what our fixation with them reveals about the values we are searching for in the present.
