Mid-Century Modern
Interior design and lifestyle theme inspired by 1950s-1960s Eames, Braun, Saarinen, and Aalto design legacy. Warm eggshell background (#F7EFE0 — slight cream undertone, NOT pure white) with espresso brown-black (#36281D) foreground and a fully earthy accent palette: golden mustard (#D9B341), burnt orange (#C97343), sage olive (#687F58), and teak wood brown (#886A4D). Fraunces Italic 500 display headlines (64-72px) — italic carries warmth, never bold-condensed for display. Public Sans regular body 17px / 1.7 line-height. DM Mono 11px uppercase captions alternating between burnt orange and olive green. Mustard-yellow 4.5em Fraunces Italic drop-cap. Pull quotes with teak brown 4px left border and starburst SVG ornament. Hand-drawn single-stroke SVG ornaments (atomic-particle starburst, boomerang shape, geometric leaf, Eames-chair silhouette) — NOT icon library shapes. 2-column pale-teak post grid with washed-teak 1px borders and burnt-orange hover underline animation. 1px hairlines, NO shadows, NO gradients, NO rounded corners over 4px. Generous whitespace. Atomic-age optimism — the OPPOSITE of brutalist concrete or cyberpunk neon. Built for interior designers, mid-century furniture restorers, vintage furniture dealers, home renovation bloggers, product design historians, Eichler-house owners, and design book reviewers.
