4. Iconic Furniture: Mid Century Modern furniture is instantly recognisable and cherished for its timeless appeal. From the Eames Lounge Chair to the Saarinen Tulip Table, these pieces serve as focal points that effortlessly merge with contemporary design.

5. Functionality With Form: In a world where functionality reigns supreme, Mid Century Modern design seamlessly marries form, function and Minimalism. Each piece is designed with a purpose, promoting comfort without sacrificing style.

6. Open Living Spaces: An emphasis on open, fluid spaces blurs the lines between interior and exterior, creating a harmonious flow that invites natural light and air into the home.
