MID-CENTURY
MODERN DESIGN
This issue of Ornamentum takes a look back at the design innovations and creative collaborations of the 1950s and 60s, an era that has been revitalized as a timeless classic.
The Mid-Century Modern Design issue features the nearly forgotten about Indigenous collective, the Micmac Indian Craftsman, alongside a look at Peter Cotton's pioneering furniture. Also inside, Rachel Gotlieb explores Thor Hansen's icon Canadian motifs and Jennifer Laurent recounts the assembly of the displays suits of Habitat 67.
Ornamentum is a non-profit publication; donations help the magazine expand its reach and present related programing.
Ornamentum publishes commissioned, thematic content in English and French. We welcome your ideas for topics and reviews.
