Vintage Mid Century Modern Dressers Have a Moment
Ah, Mid-Century modern — or, as the cool kids call it, MCM. Sure, it refers to the design popularized at the midpoint of the last century, and, despite the debate, is frequently said to span the mid-1930s to mid-1960s. Yet the decorative style itself is largely defined by its roots in the post-World War II era, which saw an invigoration of technology, an interest in utility and style within architecture and design, and the emergence of Germany’s Bauhaus designers in the U.S.
The Beauty of Mid-Century Design
Sleek lines and organic shapes define the era’s furniture and other works, much of it crafted by the likes of Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, Eero Saarinen, and other figureheads of the movement, with pieces like the vintage mid-century dresser (or, again, as the cool kids would call it, the MCM dresser or the MCM chest of drawers) exemplifying the style’s commitment to function first, followed by form. Shop our selection of used mid-century modern dresser items, and you’ll quickly discover the simple beauty that can emerge when that commitment to function leads the way.
