The Best Places to Shop for Midcentury Modern Design

1. Knoll

One of the most influential manufacturers of midcentury modern design, Knoll is about as authentic as it gets. And since you're getting the original design and make, this means you'll also be paying a pretty penny (as opposed to those brands who create MCM-inspired pieces). However, the price tag is worth it once you see the quality and unique design of each and every piece, from lounge chairs to dining tables to living room accessories. If you're looking for authentic and eye-catching pieces, look no further.

Another authentic design firm, Herman Miller, was founded in Michigan in 1940 and helped create what we now know as American Modernism. Items aren't exactly cheap, however, the quality is on par with Knoll. A ton of items in its arsenal have become cult favorites among the MCM elite, specifically its line of office chairs and cubicle desks (which will look very familiar to you if you've ever worked in an office). But the brand is also filled with midcentury modern furniture and home decor, including Eames wall hooks, Nelson clocks, Noguchi tables, and more.
