Mid-Century Modern Questions, Answered

Is mid-century modern still in style?

It has been 'in' for two decades because its proportions are simply good design. Quality mid-century pieces hold value and mix well with almost anything.

How much mid-century is too much?

One or two iconic pieces per room is the sweet spot — a lounge chair, a sideboard — against quiet modern surroundings. A full set reads as a period movie set.
