1950s / A Century of Chairs - Design Museum Exhibition London : Digital Design Museum
After the horror of World War II, people longed for a warmer, organic aesthetic of earthy colours and natural materials such as wood.
The design champions of this organic modernism - such as Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia and Eero Saarinen in the US, Arne Jacobsen in Denmark, Gio Ponti and the Castiglioni brothers in Italy - harnessed wartime advances in defence technology to develop new furniture and products for the fast-expanding post-war population.
