The period from the 1930s to the 1960s saw the birth and development of the modernist movement. The characteristics are a basic design and a sense of welcome and warmth. And it was precisely the sense of welcome and warmth to which mid-century design owed its success after the war.
A minimalist and rigid aesthetic but warmed by its color notes and the excessive use of wood.

60 years after the end of its reference period, the mid-century has never ceased to fascinate and to be - albeit only with an accent - present in our homes.
