Midcentury Modern Design shows their fascination towards woodwork. Design elements have certainly changed from their earlier style but continued with their appreciation toward woodwork. Woodwork given with natural polish and maintaining the characteristics of the fiber is based on their Midcentury Design philosophy. The Kitchen (plate 6A) has simplistic design reflecting the essence of the movement. The Wall-rack (plate 6B) has the simplicity and clarity in design composed in horizontal and vertical planes. The negative and positive space gives lighter feeling. The Cabinet (plate 6C) is magnificent in its simplicity displaying the elegance of material characteristic.
