SECOND CHARM FURNITURE - MID CENTURY MODERN INFLUENCE

Dear All

We are greatly influenced by mid century modern designs and aesthetics.  There is no denying.  And we are proud of it. We are in love with them for their simplicity, their lack of pretension for granduer, their quiet elegance and  the sleek clean lines that best suited modern living.  

At SECOND CHARM, we keep alive the midcentury modern spirit, remaining true to its essence without being rigid with its forms. The same passion is also shared by some of our customers, who brought in their designs influenced by the midcentury modern tradition, yet  experimenting with lines and forms to create something  fresh and exciting. 

A mid century modern piece reinterpreted.  We keep the tapered legs, 

the slated drawers and uses vintage fabric, recreating the 

midcentury modern telephone side table.

An awesome design by Arturo who loves the midcentury design yet wants 

something of his own.   The design is tweaked from a similar design 

that we created. We helped him create the  above piece with some 

of our best vintage teak. The holes at the bottom are speaker 

holes which we have since lined with fabric.

See those lovely woodgrains  that can only come with old teak. 

A mid century modern design from us.  Shu Ying which ordered the piece 

requested for white formica to be added to the slated drawers.

 The outcome  is great.

A tv console custom made for Desmond who requested for one side 

made open to incorporate his record collections.  We love his idea too.

A long tv console that have 3 slated panels that can be lifted up

and slot in at the top.  Mark and Shereen incorporated our  sideboard design

which has slated centre to create a new design altogether.

Another interesting design by Isman, who loves our midcentury modern creations

 yet wanted to create something different. Instead of our usual pull out  slated 

doors, Isman requested for  sliding doors for the top half  and drawers at 

the bottom. Plus he loves our tapered sides and  the brass caps of

 course to complete the midcentury look

A tv console designed by an interior design company  who

custom orders with us.  We love the simplicity of the design.

 We have to make sure that the centre shelf streamlines

with the drawers at the sides.

Instead of two sliding doors,  Tze requested only one sliding door.

We helped translate Lydia's idea of a writing table with attached 

shelf at the top plus an extendable table  to overcome  

a space constraint.

Mandy incorporated the midcentury designs to suit her needs. The centre end 

is kept opened to place her big computer. The cut out handles are

 characteristically mid century. She loves the outcome of 

her ideas and our workmanship.
