I love mid-century design because it was a time when beautiful, functional things were made for the masses. Now, if you want beautiful AND functional you have to pay for it.

I just recently started getting into Midcentury Modern pieces. My "new" kitchen table is midcentury modern and I love that it had a whole other life before becoming a well-loved fixture in my home. Also, I absolutely love his work. I've had my eye on his Star Wars themed posters for a while now and would love to have one in my home :)

I love Mid Century Modern Design! I love it because it's still so post-modern with elegant lines, but practical view that can still match to contemporary style. Timeless!

I love mid century modern design because it is timeless, inspiring, functional and aesthetic. It is exceptionally versatile and works very well in today's modern or contemporary spaces. Mid century modern design is classic and forever enduring. So many of the designers and pieces of that era are my design heroes; they laid the foundations from which design has flourished.

[shalini]

I'm a fan of his posters already! I love mid-century design for it's clean and spare lines.

[Laura]

I love Mid Century Modern Design because they made functionality beautiful. They care about doing industrial production for a cheaper product, more accesible for all, but don't renounced the style, the emotion, the comfort...

[Becca]

I love mid century design because it's graceful, spare, timeless, functional, uncluttered, and soothing.
I've also long-since made Jan Skácelík's etsy shop a favorite.

[Shannon]

I love Mid Century Modern Design because its so clean and never seems to go out of style. These works of art would go perfectly in my home. I love the Game Boy design! :)

[Katie]

My love affair with mid-century design started back in high school before I even knew how to classify it. I oooh'd and aaaahh'd over an Eames lounger in a friend's house imaging how I would position it in my bedroom.

When I started traveling for work a few years ago, I was immediately drawn to the long arching lines of Dulles airport not yet knowing it was designed by Eero Saarinen. The beautiful thing about this period of design is that it's so indicative of the time period- the 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s, yet most of it is so incredibly timeless. I can't think of another design era where that's true. Where timeless isn't just a buzzword, but a completely accurate description of clean lines, simple form and logical functionality.

I'd have to say the thing I love the MOST about mid-century design is it's timelessness and versatility. FUN prints! Would love to win one!

[Angela]

Loving mid century design with its super fun whimsy and pops of color!

[Kathleen]

I love midcentury modern because I love clean lines and curves mixed with surprising color

[Brian]

Clean lines and great combinations of form/style/function. I love everything midcentury, from cars to furniture to homes and appliances. Takes me back to a time when quality mattered as much as a product's visual appeal, and when things simply did what was intended. A chair was strikingly beautiful and comfortable, a refrigerator kept things cold, looked nice in the kitchen, and lasted for decades. Cars were solid and easily repairable. Great design never dies. Jan's print above is AWESOME. :)

[chris]

I love mid century modern design because it is functional, timeless simple and beautiful all the same.

[skip to malou]

I love mid centurty modern design because there's something about it that lifts my spirits up. It's fun, it's happy, the colors are vibrant, clean lines and functional.

[Winter]

I love how sleek and clean everything looks--I can't help but light up when I see prints like these!

[Lisa]

Like everyone else, I love it for it's clean lines and functionality. It works so well in my small condo and it's a way for me to own quality furniture that already has a story to it.

[colleen]

I love midcentury design because of how it interacts with the environment its placed in...the light, the other colors around it...it's so well thought through and brings such character. Nothing else is quite like it.

[Monica]

I love the clean lines, the cool colors and just seeing his style makes me happy.. I'm totally in love with the "make magic happen" print. If I don't win it, I'm buying it!

[Karen Collins]

I love mid-century modern, because it is serious design that doesn't take itself too seriously.
