What is Mid-Century Modern Lighting?
Mid-century modern lighting gained popularity in America in the 1950s, a little over a decade after its introduction at the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. The colorful and linear style was influenced by the Danish and Bauhaus modernist movement. People loved the colorful, quirky shapes and how it seemed to pay homage to the space-age. The tendency toward a more minimalist approach to home furnishings added to its appeal.
Urban Ambiance continues the tradition of the beloved style by offering a unique and versatile selection of mid-century lighting solutions. From quality, eye-catching chandeliers to chic pendant lights, your rooms will shine with nostalgic and sleek illumination.
What Are The Elements of Mid-Century Modern Lighting?
The mid-century modern design celebrates uncluttered but elegant ornamentation with understated functionality. Light fixtures come in different finishes and colors often with interesting patterns and exposed light bulbs. Simple, streamlined shapes give way to muted glass spheres or bright, diamond shades. The wire frames may have unexpected arcs and bows keeping the style as fun as it is unique.
There is a reason why mid-century modern lighting styles endure and find new life in every decade. Maybe it is because it is an ideal blend of the contemporary and the old. Its iconic nod to traditional simplicity with a whimsical twist makes it the focal point and an attractive accent to every classic decor.
