#MidCenturyModern
The misch_MISCH studio approach to Mid-Century Modern interior design and Mid-Century Modernist Architecture comes from a real passion for the aesthetic and the philosophy behind it.
Both Mid-Century Modernist Architecture and the very popular and distinctive interior style, has gained mass appeal over the last few years.
The truth is, one of the reasons why the Mid-Century Modern style has become somewhat of a classic is its scope.
ICONIC | TIMELESS | CRAFTSMANSHIP | TRADITIONAL | WARMTH
A mid-century modern is a style that can be seamlessly merged with other styles, without jarring the senses
It Is The Endless Re-Imagination That Makes The Mid-Century Modern Seamlessly Fit Its New Counterparts

old being re-imagined
Whether it’s an Eames or a Gio Pointi, made from bent plywood or steel and wire, the iconic Mid-Century Modern chair is a clear example of the old being reimagined with an eye firmly on the future.
A future which we are all now living in – but in so many ways not living up to.
It was those who were part of Mid-Century Modernist Architecture movement at the time, who imagined future incorporated architectural know how, quality materials, simplified designs, efficiency, and comfort.
It was aspirational and optimistic and saw a future where we would all treasure the crafted pieces we bought, and they would last a lifetime.

The Characteristic Clean And Simple Lines. Its Softer, Rounded And Connects You With Nature, The Craftsmen’s Techniques, It’s The Ability To Bring Harmony

TIMELESS:
It is no wonder then that so many pieces from the era are still intact and are so often sought after today.
Mid-Century Modernist Architecture and furniture hark back to a time before the flimsy and mass produced became de rigeur – halcyon times in interior design terms.

As mM Founder says:
The misch_MISCH studio approach to Mid-Century Modern interior design comes from a real passion for the aesthetic and the philosophy behind it:
“I’m not an intellectual designer, I’m a very emotional designer. I love Mid-Century Modern Architecture, Interiors and Furniture design for its honesty, its warmth, the characteristic clean and simple lines. I like the fact that it needs no decorative embellishments.
Its softer, rounded and connects you with nature. It’s the natural materials, the craftsmen’s techniques, it’s the ability to bring harmony but also throw you off guard! These are the things that make this design style as well as the philosophy behind it so timeless.”
“I’m not an intellectual designer, I’m a very emotional designer. I love Mid-Century Modern design for its honesty & Its warmth”

Distinct Features Of Mid-Century Modern Style
Of course, there is something very comforting about the familiarity of it. The wall-to-wall natural wood finishes – often fir, cherry or redwood – soft upholstery and clean lines somehow translating to muffled sounds, warmth and the memories of simpler times.
But if this were all, we would have become bored of it by now.

works equally with old as it does with new builds
This design style works equally well in both old and new builds, that the emphasis is on quality and craft, material and design.
It’s a style that can be seamlessly merged with other styles, without jarring the senses. It even compliments recycled materials like those found in the the Kooij Meltingpot table, creating a beautiful structure for even the most testing materials – this is what gives this interior design aesthetic longevity.
