“Coveteur” Featured Midcentury Designers

Coveteur  featured a story about the “midcentury designers you need to know” including Cranbrook Academy of Art’s own design stars Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Knoll, Paul Evans, and Eero Saarinen. According to Anthony Barzilay Freund, editor in chief and director of fine art at 1stdibs.com,“There actually isn’t one prevailing look, but they all share this idea of optimism, the post-war idea of a new day, and harnessed new technologies and the potential of brighter homes. Mid-century modern designers tried to create a new aesthetic that spoke to the modern age,” he told us. “It was finally coming out of the 19th century and fully into the 20th.”
