Revisit the Mid Century Modern Era of clean lines, naturally gentle curves, and timeless style with the Oscar Dining room set . The Midcentury Modern period started ran roughly from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s, and brought the element of organics shapes to furniture, giving it a softer edge than the straight lines of strictly modern designs. Patterns in the wood, shapes of tabletops and chair backs, even legs and a bit of flair to your room. Neutral finishes, like the Oscar’s warm walnut, complement other design elements of your home, like artwork or accent pieces.
