Interiors with Nikita Kahn Mid-century Style This issue's column is all about Mid-Century style. It is typically characterized by open- concept, simple, and functional rooms with furniture pieces that are modern and geometric in their aesthetic, yet very minimalistic in decoration. The pieces should be carefully selected, and not too many, like the Jean Royère Style Polar Bear Sofa with its modern, rounded design upholstered in neutral ecru soft Alpaca wool velvet. Incorporate other well-constructed furniture pieces made from natural materials such as wood, metal, and leather with clean and simple lines like Alvar Aalto's Tank Chair constructed with bent laminated birch wood legs or Vladimir Kagan's Contour Chaise Lounge made with walnut. Since there are minimal accessories in this type of style, you can incorporate metals to give this style some added dimension as in the Lapiaz Oval Coffee Table, whose cracked table surface shows through its golden interior with polished brass details and mirrored sides or add a metallic lighting feature the Cindy Table Lamp by Kartell in Platinum.
