Mid-century modern (MCM) is an American design movement whose heyday ran from the end of Second World War to the late 1960s. However, the truth is, the classic, sleek design never really went away, and it is now experiencing something of a revival. The great thing is that you don’t need to turn your entire home into a MCM shrine – just a few key pieces is all you need to channel this effortless style movement
