Cara Greenberg's Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s explores the defining furniture and interior design of the post-war period, from the late 1940s through the 1950s. The book presents a richly illustrated survey of the era's distinctive forms, materials and design innovations, including boomerang-shaped coffee tables, sculptural biomorphic furniture, streamlined metal furnishings and the organic curves associated with modernist interiors. Through its selection of furniture and photographs, it shows how designers combined experimentation, industrial production and new approaches to domestic living to create a style that remains influential in contemporary interiors. The book also includes lists of notable designs and a guide to galleries and pieces still in production, making it useful both as a visual reference and as an introduction to collecting mid-century furniture.
