Mid- Century Moderism

Mid- Century Modernism Architecture Included flat roofs, Angular details, Asymmetrical profiles, Expansive walls of glass, clean lines wide open floor Plans, Married indoor space to the outside. Some important Designers from this era were Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson and Isamu Noquchi. Eero made things thinks such as tulip chair Produced by Knoll, the Womb Chair,  and Executive Chair. Charles and Ray Eames they made furniture such as the chaise, Aluminum group, Lounge chair, and the molded plywood chair and table.

Art Deco Design Period

The Art Deco Design period took place during the 1920s it originated from Paris bur soon grew in popularity. The characteristics of this time period were Chevron shapes, Zig-Zags, Folding screen with African tribal art, stepped profile of furniture suggested the architecture of skyscrapers, large mirrors, prominent light fixtures call attention to modern materials and the use of rich materials such as ebony, zebra wood, tortoise-shell and leather. some of the major designers during this period were Micheal Roux-Spitz, Jean Dunand, Maurice Dufrene, Jean Michel Frank, Jacques- Emile Ruhimann, Eileen gray and many more. this movement was simply a European concept until the ocean liner normandie gave the idea to the Americans. This ship was the design element that paved way for Art deco in America.
