SEASON 1 | EPISODE 01
Mid‑century modern is one of only a few historic American design styles to completely embody such a specific moment in time and fascinate a population to such an extent. The ratings don’t lie – we love living vicariously through characters like Don and Betty Draper or Mrs. Maisel while we soak up the sets, the clothes, and all the style of that delicious mid-century vibe. Indulge in this four-part series as we unravel this love affair with mid-century modern design.
The history of mid-century modern goes back much farther than you may think. Join us as we dig deep into the rich history of the style, starting all the way back with the modernists and moving into current day.
