2. Innovative Use of Materials: Mid-century designers were known for their innovative use of both traditional and non-traditional materials. Expect to see couches in a range of fabrics like leather, wool, or velvet, and structures made of wood, metal, or fiberglass.
3. Organic and Geometric Forms: Mid-century couches often have a play of shapes like organic forms (curves and rounds) and geometric forms (rectangles and squares). This combination results in an engaging mix of simplicity and complexity to create eye-catching pieces.
4. Neutral and Bold Colors: Mid-century design may feature a mix of palettes. While many designs stick to a neutral color scheme (browns, blacks, whites) to amplify the natural material aesthetics, there are also bold shades (orange, green, yellow) that add a pop of color inspired by the optimism of the post-war period.
5. Elevated on Legs: A unique characteristic of mid-century couches is that they are often elevated off the floor on thin, tapered legs. This gives the furniture a sense of lightness and space, contributing to the overall minimalistic aesthetic of mid-century design.
Eastern traditions of sitting and resting informed the Jalis Sofa, created by German design duo Markus Jehs and Jürgen Laub. Evocative of a folded scatter cushion or floor pillow, Jalis offers a voluminous shape, exaggerated expression, and cloud-like comfort. Its modular pieces come with connectors that can be screwed in place to create myriad configurations. Greenguard and Greenguard Gold certified. Made in Germany.
“My collections are all about comfort, sculptural shapes, and bold proportions,” says Australian designer Sarah Ellison. Having grown up in the 1970s, Ellison is nostalgic for overstuffed sofas and materials like velvet, but takes them in a more modern direction with her Muse Sofa (2017). With its curvy modular form and luxe but low-maintenance upholstery, Muse is a dynamic showstopper that’s also wonderfully livable. Made in China.
