Mid-century design is a quest for clean lines, honest construction, interesting use of materials and economy of materials,” says David Skelley, owner of Boomer- ang for Modern, which carries an inspiring collection of reissued mid-century classics by Herman Miller, Vitra and more. Like other showroom managers throughout town, Skelley is busy helping consumers navigate the resurgence of a design aesthetic born in the middle of the 20th century. From Ikea and other mainstream shops to showrooms like Mission Valley. “As it relates to furniture, mid-century design is very relevant to designers such as Eames, Le Corbusier and Saarinen.”
