Love the office furniture in Mad Men? Do you find yourself staring at the desk as much as you do Jon Hamm? Swoon You are not alone. Hot tip: the style of furniture that you see in the show is Mid-Century Modern. You are welcome! Mid-Century Modern style hails from mid 20th Century period, which coincidentally, we consider one of our favorite design periods ever. After WWII, the focus turned toward furniture that was as functional as it was decorative. New families were setting up their homes and there was a huge demand for stylish furniture (desks, most definitely included!). All of these reasons, along with the introduction of factory-made furniture, inspired gorgeous desk designs that continue to be in vogue even today. Use a brightly-colored Mid-Century Modern desk to glam up a corner, or an impressive, large wooden desk to add a bolt of power to your home office. Looking for a sleek desk that won’t block the corner? A sleek Mid-Century Modern desk that comes with storage will help you conserve some of that precious real estate. Bonus! Mid-Century desks also feature the most delicious hardwoods, including walnut, rosewood and mahogany. With so many different types of wood available, you don’t have to worry about it matching with the rest of your furniture. If both comfort and style are important to you, Mid-Century Modern desks are the desks for you. Roomy and comfortable, but majorly stylish too--Where can we sign up?
