Mid-century modern style refers to the design movement of mid-20th-century interior, product, graphic design, architecture, and urban development. Today, MCM is recognized as a significant design movement by scholars and museums around the globe, and it’s impossible not to see its appeal.

There’s even a whole community on Reddit that introduces itself as “a community for enthusiasts of mid-century modern design. From Charles and Ray Eames to Paul McCobb and Adrian Pearsall.”

Created 11 years ago, back in 2011, the "Mid Century" subreddit is an online destination for examples of mid-century modern design, from furniture to interiors that take our breath away.

Below we wrapped up some of the most interesting examples, so pull your seats closer!

To find out what an expert thinks about the mid-century modern style that has been gaining a lot of popularity lately on Instagram, we reached out to Dr. Lori Verderame, a Ph.D. antiques appraiser who’s an internationally syndicated columnist and an author with 30 books to her credit.

Dr. Lori explained that the mid-century modern style is the characteristic look in design of the late 1940s through the 1970s, so basically it is the design of the 1950s and 1960s. “Mid-century modern design, known as MCM, has become more popular and valuable over the last 20 years,” she said.

“It features space-age forms, new state-of-the-art materials, the fusion of natural and manmade elements, organic and geometric shapes, bright and bold textile designs, and bright colors. Materials like lucite, chrome, bakelite, and fiberglass are integrated in our homes and fashion,” Lori told Bored Panda.

We asked Dr. Lori if furniture and design items from the MCM period are valuable, and she confirmed that it’s definitely the case. “Furniture by big names in the mid-century modern movement like George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles Eames, and others continue to bring big money from collectors,” Dr. Lori explained.

Moreover, the antiques appraiser argues that mid-century modern furniture and design accessories will only increase in value over time, “as long as these vintage pieces are kept in good condition and are free of damage.”

I’m 62, and this looks like the homes of a lot of my friends back in the day. My parents were older, so were still into post WWII colonial style. So I grew up with that instead of MCM, many pieces of which I inherited, including the solid cherrywood Lane dining room set—-60” round table with 2 extra leaves, pedestal legs, and extra thick original custom table pad, 6 matching captain’s style chairs, china cabinet, and hutch they bought from Strawbridge and Clothier in Philadelphia after my father got out of the Army in 1946—and have in my own home right now.

I have been looking for a nice bell Victrola for years. When I was a child, they were common as dirt nd unappreciated, so could be picked up for pennies. Never could get my parents to buy one. Once I was old enough to work and had my own money, their price had skyrocketed. I do have a circa 1925 suitcase Victrola I picked up for pennies, which works perfectly, and loads of era-appropriate records. Still would love to have a bell Victrola, though.

I don't see a color wheel that usually went with the silver trees. We had one when I was a kid and it looked so beautiful at night.

Used to have a sofa like that (different color). Wish I had it back. New sofas are so uncomfortable.

I bet there's some beautiful wood grained veneer under that paint, wait till the summer, get it outside and strip-it . . . you can always repaint if you don't like it bare!
