The same happens with mid-century design. Inspired by the great minds of the design scene of 1930, mid-century design came at us with sleek lines and iconic pieces were design that are still being produced and manufactured to this day. Its legacy survived until our days, and today, new brands are inspired by the iconic designs of the 20th century to create pieces that pay homage to those pieces.
