Masters of Midcentury Modernism

From sleek new industrial materials to innovations in housing for Baby Boomers, the design pioneers in the middle of the 20th century faced new challenges in shaping a design aesthetic that embraced the ideals of post-WWII America and Europe. Explore the new optimism in the relationship between design and lifestyle in the mid-20th century, manifested in open living spaces in architecture and curvaceous, biomorphic forms in furniture, lighting, and other decorative arts. The influence of the Case Study Program and the works of such design luminaries as Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Joseph Eichler, Isamu Noguchi, Arne Jacobsen, as well as the furniture of Knoll and Herman Miller, will be discussed in the context of the rapid social changes of the times.
