For our latest Dezeen lookbook, we have collected 10 projects from the Dezeen archives that showcase elegant mid-century modern interiors with a contemporary feel.
As the name suggests, mid-century modern is the name of a style of design and architecture from the middle of the 19th century, usually seen as spanning from the mid-1940s until the late 1960s.
A number of designers and architects who were active during this period created furniture pieces that have gone on to become modern classics, including chairs by Ray and Charles Eames and lights by Isamu Noguchi.
Here, we have gathered images of 10 projects where mid-century modern design has been used to create interiors that are elegant without feeling cold or stark.
This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series that provides visual inspiration for designers and design enthusiasts. Previous lookbooks include home libraries, minimalist bedrooms and Shaker-style interiors.
Frost House, US, Karen Valentine and Bob Coscarelli
Michigan's Frost House is a prefabricated house from the 1960s. New owners Karen Valentine and Bob Coscarelli decided to minimise their interventions and take a preservationist approach when they bought the house, which still has its original layout.
Frost House has also retained its original Knoll furniture, including a gridded-steel Bertoia side chair, as well as its distinctive built-in cabinetry.
