Mid century modern buff? Today we’ll be discussing iconic mid century modern dining chairs! From mid century modern to sleek contemporary to vintage retro to rustic farmhouse to traditional to chic minimalist to Scandinavian to industrial to country cottage to eclectic, take a look at these enchanting dining rooms showcasing stylish mid century modern dining chairs.
1. Chic Black and White Dining Room
We are just loving this chic space by 4 Corners. Neutral shades with pops of white, black and gold, this stylish room feels hip and fresh. A few niches showcase a black and white patterned backdrop with floating shelves displaying plants.The big wood table, grounded by a textured neutral rug, seats many diners comfortably.
When it comes to mid century modern dining chairs, classic Paris Cafe Chairs were paired with black Eon Dining Chairs. This iconic bentwood chair, known as Model No. 14, was designed by German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet in 1867. This minimalist beauty dubbed the “chair of chairs,” revolutionized modern furniture production.
2. Formal Dining Space Shines Bright in Shades of Blue
Contemporary meets traditional design styles in this white and blue dining space. The ceiling and wainscoting is expertly painted a light blue hue and is broken up by floral wallpaper in white. Doesn’t the contemporary ceiling light wonderfully blend with the dining room?
The set of classic Louis XIV Chairs, also known as Regents Dining Chairs, in a lovely shade of blue blend beautifully with the warm wood armchairs.Of course, the true statement worthy pieces in the space are the formally striking Regents Chairs.
3. Casual Dining Room With a Coastal Feel
A few contemporary details - the globe pendant lights, the white deer head - sublimely balance out thiscoastal dining space's casual elements.Personally, we love how the natural color scheme is highlighted by the built in banquete’s ocean blue cushion.
Of course, the true eye catchers in the room are the natural Gear Dining Chairs with rattan seats. Evoke rustic remembrances with these cross back beauties! They offer country charm without compromising on modernity. Did you know the first cross back chairs were used in 20th century French bistros?
4. Breakfast Nook With an Eclectic Vibe
Located right across from the eat-in kitchen, this cute breakfast nook is beautifully defined by salvaged wooden beams on the ceiling. And, a highly unusual metal ceiling light serves as the only focal point of this dining room.
A quite interesting mix of seating styles including the trio of French chairs upholstered in bright red, a classic bench and a pair of mid century Tulip Chairs, give the dining room an eclectic feel. This iconic Tulip Dining Armchair, fist pedestal chair ever, was designed by Finnish born mastermind Eero Saarinen.
5. Inviting Dining Space With Bright Natural Light
From the credenza to the chairs to the armchairs, Danish wood furniture pieces set the tone in this inviting space with a Nordic feel.The warm wood tones of the pendant light, sideboard and dining chairs offer an organic touch to the sleek, modern lines of the interior decor. French doors provide vast natural light, while making it cozy.
The true attention grabber in the room is the curvy Round Chair, a.k.a. Presidential Dining Armchair. Known as "the world's most beautiful chair," this memorable piece was designed by Hans Wegner in 1949. This Danish masterpiece is exceptional both for its pristine polished wooden form and the unparalleled symbolism which it is famous for.
6. Sophisticated, Neutral Dining Area
We love this sophisticated dining space with a neutral palette. It’s the accessories themselves that elevate the neutral color scheme of this lovely dining room:a plush faux fur throw, a linen table runner, the simple sophistication of the flat weave rug.Over the warm wood dining table, a metal ceiling light adds a welcoming golden glow.
And, the set of Wishbone Chairs, also known as Woodshting Chairs, another Danish masterpiece by Wegner. These natural beauties with a comfortably curved back, are constructed of solid wood and hand woven natural hemp seat. So understated, and elegant!

This stylish dining space with vibrant pops of color was specifically designed to entertain, as well as enjoy and showcase the homeowner's coveted modern art pieces, statement decor pieces and iconic furniture. Dinner party guests will be amazed by everything this space has to offer…
From the luscious chandelier to the blue drapes to the striking wall art to the wood console to the pedestal dining table to the set of sculptural Panton S Shape Chair in a bold color. Designed by Danish designer Verner Panton in the 60s. The first molded plastic chair ever, it’s another icon of Danish design.
