Get Form and Function with 1950 furniture

Why is 1950 furniture still popular decades after it was created? One might think that the pieces are now outdated especially with the presence of contemporary furnishings. However, designers and consumers alike still love the visually appealing and very useful pieces from the 1950s up to today.

1950 furniture was the embodiment of both form and function. It was nice to look at, but it is not merely eye candy. The pieces can actually be used. One can attribute the utilitarian nature of the pieces to the decade itself. With the Second World War over, war efforts ceased and the individual again became the society's primary concern. Because smaller houses were being constructed after the conflict, designers had to create items that would address the space problem, such as stackable pieces.

Aside from being very practical, 1950 furniture also served as works of art in themselves. They were whimsical and eclectic, and definitely eye-catching. To begin with, the materials used to construct the pieces were unique. Though wood was still used, materials that were not originally used for furniture became popular: aluminum, rubber, vinyl, fiberglass, PVC and Formica.

The colors and fabrics used in 1950 furniture were also bright and bold. For the colors, people went for either day-glo hues such as yellow, red and limegreen, or pastels, which included pistachio green, pale blue and bubblegum pink. As for fabrics, the printed ones were the obvious choice for a style statement. Prints and patterns during the decade ranged from the abstract to the science-inspired (atoms, calyxes and starbursts) to the animal-inspired (leopard spots and zebra stripes).

Even with the contemporary style of furnishings, there are still those who want a piece of decades past, such as the 1950s. Aside from nostalgia, 1950 furniture delivers both form and function to buyers.
