Revisit the Mid Century Modern Era of clean lines, naturally gentle curves and timeless style with the Oscar Collection. The Midcentury Modern period started ran roughly from the mid 1930s to the mid 1960s, and brought the element of organics shapes to furniture, giving it a softer edge than the straight lines of strictly modern designs. Patterns in the wood, shapes of table tops and chair backs, even legs ad a bit of flair to your room. Neutral finishes, like the Oscar’s warm walnut, complement other design elements of your home, like artwork or accent pieces.
