[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reviewing various run of the mill websites for furniture ideas recently and everything looks like Mad Men, late 1960s. I was sick of it when my parents and aunts/uncles had it when we were kids. I'm even more sick of it with its current revival. When are we going to get back to [b]more timeless styles?[/b] Are there companies out there that are not currently catering to this period? [/quote]

Well...it's been in style since the middle of the last century, not sure what you want here.[/quote]

Ehh. It was not "in style" in the 80s-2005. Only after 2005 did it start rearing its head again. [/quote]

It was in plenty of places and with a certain type of person.  Just because you didn't see it until it Crate and Barrel doesn't mean it wasn't out there.[/quote]

Yes, it was old nerdy engineers who had the Danish MCM furniture from their first house in 1960.

I subscribed to AD throughout the 90s into the mid 2005s and MCM as we understand it was definitely not "in style". While there were always those who appreciated the high style Marcel Bruer and Le Corbuseir furniture, the huge range of 1950s-60s MCM as exemplified by the Danish teak was a leftover out of date style from the nerdy engineers of the 50s and 60s.
