NC MOD: Mid-Century Design & North Carolina’s Modern Legacy

September 11 - October 30

The Harmony of Materials: Mid-Century Modern designers had a deep appreciation for materials and their inherent qualities. Wood, particularly teak, walnut, and oak, played a prominent role in furniture and architectural elements. The warmth of wood was often juxtaposed with metal accents, such as steel or brass, creating a visually striking contrast. These materials were celebrated for their natural beauty and durability.

Bringing Nature Indoors: A key philosophy of Mid-Century Modern Design was the integration of nature into living spaces. Expansive windows and open floor plans allowed for an abundance of natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Indoor plants and the use of earthy colours further emphasized this connection, creating interiors that felt inviting and grounded.

Simplicity and Functionality: Above all, Mid-Century Modern Design champions functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. Furniture pieces were designed with usability in mind, often featuring innovative storage solutions and multi-purpose designs. Every element had a purpose, contributing to the overall efficiency of the space.
