Mid-Century Modern Sofas

What makes a sofa mid-century modern?

Mid-century modern design, from the 1940s to the 1960s, favors clean lines, slim arms, low backs, button-tufted or bench-style seats and slender tapered wooden legs. Raised legs make the sofa look lighter and show more floor, which also helps smaller rooms feel larger.

It pairs well with warm wood, simple rugs and one strong accent color. See also our small sofas, tufted sofas and velvet sofas.
