Mid century seating gathers the chairs, sofas and stools of the era — low, clean-lined and raised on tapered or splayed legs, often in moulded ply, teak or a tubular-steel frame; period lighting sits under mid century lighting. We choose mid century seating at Eleish Van Breems Home for a modern room.
What should I consider when choosing a mid century chair?
When choosing a mid century chair, consider its proportions, materials, silhouette and overall design, while vases of the era sit under mid century modern vases. Sizing and finish should suit both the piece and the room around it, from nearby furniture to the overall scale of the space.
Where does a mid century chair work as an accent?
One moulded-ply or teak-framed mid century chair works as a sculptural accent by a desk or in a reading corner, its low line set against plain walls; the wider field sits under vintage mid century modern furniture. A single seat, or a pair, beats a matched suite.
How does mid century seating work in a modern room?
Mid century seating works well when its proportions and clean lines are given room to stand out, whether around a dining table, beside a desk or in a reading corner; low tables sit under coffee tables. Pair the seating with simple surrounding pieces and let its shape contribute to the overall composition.
