Dominic Bradbury's Mid-Century Modern Designers is a comprehensive survey of the architects and designers who defined the mid-20th century aesthetic. Through profiles of icons like Eames, Saarinen, and Jacobsen, Bradbury explores how these visionaries created furniture, buildings, and objects that balanced form and function while embodying postwar optimism. The book becomes both historical document and celebration of design that remains influential decades later.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Bradbury shows us why mid-century modern never goes out of style: these designers understood that beauty and utility aren't opposites. This book reminds us that the best design serves life while elevating it, creating objects that are both practical and inspiring.
