Was there ever a design movement better suited for cocktail parties than mid-century modern? It combined form and function in a really sleek yet colorful way that made living spaces feel both welcoming and sophisticated. Just look at any nice, authentic mid-century modern living room – spaces like those just scream to be filled with the sounds of jazz records and clinking highball glasses. Modern, minimalist aesthetics just don’t have that “party” vibe to them!
