Mid-Century Modern Humor

I came across this funny cartoon a few weeks ago on Apartment Therapy and thought I’d save it for a fun Friday where I wouldn’t be able to get a Weekly Six post out. [For two weeks now. Sorry about that!]

Anyway, since we talk a lot about mid-century homes and cover a lot of modern decor, in which MCM paved the way for, I thought it would be an interesting post. While I assume the cartoon is implying that mid-century modern decor should be retired, I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind one of those La-z-boy Womb Chairs!

What are your thoughts on mid-century modern decor and this cartoon? Should it be retired or would you rather retire on one of these pieces?

Have a great first weekend of June!

Mammalampa

Funny name, great lamps. Mammalampa is a Latvian brand that creates lighting apparently to declare gentle war on “making lamps differently without adapting, killing or violently beautifying materials.” My favorite are the “Bride” lamps designed by Ieva Kaleja, which have unique braided paper shades that look like something out of a fairy tale — like Rapunzel . It also reminds me of the Frisa lamp by Anika Engelbrecht
