11 Creative Furniture Uses For Industrial Vintage Casters
Our vintage casters are Mid-Century inspired, but they are pieces of a bigger picture. What exactly is Mid-Century Modern? For starters, the term Mid-Century Modern can be used to define a specific era of design where each piece had a story to tell. As Daniel Engber decided, “[Mid-Century Modern] does seem like a style meant for bridging eras… It lets us dabble in nostalgia while we maintain the sense of making progress; it helps us to recall a time when the future seemed bright.”
To better understand the fascination and appeal of the Mid-Century Modern wave, we decided to do a round-up 11 creative uses for industrial vintage casters as they are applied to Mid-Century style furniture.
