idcentury modern style reappeared
on our radar screens more than a
decade ago, but the wildly popular show
Mad Men has pushed it even farther into
the limelight. Just as the name implies,
it spanned a period of roughly two and

materials and a seamless flow between
indoors and out create a medley of
functional comfort and chic style. The look
bridges the organic and the man-made,
with one foot in the natural world and the
other in brave new territory that still has
the power to surprise us today.
