Online talk
Tuesday, 26 May, 7.00–7.45 pm BST
Mid-century furniture emerged from a post-war belief in progress, function and better living through design. Designers embraced new materials and production methods – from moulded plywood and tubular steel to modular storage and democratic furniture made for everyday homes.
In this talk with specialist Kayleigh Davies, we explore how designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Eero Saarinen, Hans J. Wegner and George Nelson reshaped everyday interiors.
