Where can I find mid-century sofas for sale?
Mid-century modern sofas are famed for being simple and flawlessly functional. Bursting onto the scene post World War Two, mid-century modernism was a design style born from a growing need in the West for stripped-back, functional furniture. Classic mid-century modern design is characterised by clean lines, the original use of geometric shapes, soft curves and interesting accentuated colour palettes.
Focusing on functionality and ease of use, mid-century style sofas are some of the comfiest and most elegant sofa designs out there. In a typical mid-century style, you can find lots of multicolour seating in very simple, clean, rectangular shapes that fit seamlessly in with other contemporary furnishings. Another typical mid-century look was the almost round sofa, curving round in a clean geometric sphere.
Velvet and leather were popular furnishing materials as well as sofa legs or frames made from durable hardwoods like teak, rosewood and oak. Mid-century modern design was also famed for its pops of colour and sofas were no exception. Often finished in bold colours intended to make the piece stand out as a statement within any room, or they feature an accent for a vibrant flash of colour.
Thanks to its popularity over the last decade, it’s easy to find mid-century sofas for sale in our characterful collection at Vinterior.
