Hi! I know this is indirectly related to interior design, but I would think interior designers would be really knowledgeable about this subject.
I'm trying to compile a good list of Mid Century Modern furniture companies and their furniture lines for research and reference. I'm talking only about original makers during the mid century era, not who's making them now. Here's a list I've started, but I know there's a whole lot more. Would appreciate any help on expanding my list🙂 Any furniture company, furniture company line, or specific piece. I know

Please keep in mind two things if you comment on this post. First, I'm just getting into Mid Century Modern, so please be gracious. Second, I understand that there's differences in quality and collectability with these. I'm just interested in knowing the different furniture lines and pieces (information about the quality and collectability is helpful to me though).
