Mid Century Modern Interiors – More Than Just Nostalgia
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 have gain popularity in recent years and are distinctive interior style, that has gained mass appeal over the last few years.
Its aesthetic has gained mass appeal over the last few years, and it can’t simply be written off as nostalgia – there is much more to it than that.
•ICONIC • TIMELESS • CRAFTSMANSHIP • TRADITIONAL • WARMTH •
The truth is, one of the reasons why the MID-CENTURY MODERN n style has become somewhat of a classic is its scope.
'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
X.
OLD RE-IMAGINED
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.

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.

mM FOUNDER SAYS:
“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.”

DISTINCT FEATURES OF MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE
It would be disingenuous to suggest that nostalgia plays no part in today’s appeal of the Mid-century Modern aesthetic.
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 WITH OLD AS WITH THE 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 MELTING POT TABLE, creating a beautiful structure for even the most testing materials – this is what gives this interior design aesthetic longevity.
"Acquiring a piece from the Mid-Century Modern era is so rewarding - like adding a piece of jewellery to your room"

Research is key, but encapsulating the past within a modern setting with items that have since gone out of production could be the prize for your efforts.
