I think we need a lesson on what Mid Century Modern actually is
Mid Century Modern is an aesthetic, a style. Just because something was produced post-WWII through 1970's doesn't automatically classify the item as MCM. This video explains the style better than I could here with my limited typing and grammar skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DsIkNuqj-U&ab_channel=JoanaAlmeida More on reddit.com

March 17, 2023 - Design is ever cyclical. Styles that have had their heyday are resurrected in new ways. And while midcentury modern design is by no means the only aesthetic to have had a resurgence, it has certainly done so with unmatched staying power. The modernist aesthetic is defined by clean lines, organic forms, a less-is-more approach, and high functionality (think of design icons like Florence Knoll, Herman Miller, and Arne Jacobson).
