Generally, mid-century modern is a term we use today without thinking too much about it. Say it and Case Study Houses or a George Nelson clock ringed by colorful balls comes to mind. It’s an easy way of codifying a certain stylistic lightness, a proclivity for making materials perform new tricks: bent plywood, glass walls, strong plastic. Unlike the prewar modernism of the Bauhaus, De Stijl, and other largely European movements, mid-century modernism implies an American joie de vivre.
