Top designer of the Mid-Century era, Charles Eames, said, "The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests." This philosophy, embodied in the work of other Mid-Century designers like Isamu Noguchi and George Nelson, offers thoughtful design, style, and comfort to people everywhere. Now, Mid-Century Modern furniture and home decor are gaining popularity in interior design by creating a look that is nostalgic, trendy, and comfortable. In particular, Mid-Century Modern chairs have a timeless elegance that still offer a sleek, classic look today. From public cafes and laundromats to personal living and dining rooms, these chairs add a retro touch to any space.
