Asymmetry, in a nutshell, is about balance...instead of matching. 

In previous eras, impressive home design showed its classiness with repeating, matching elements along a central line. These elements feel formal, weighty and grand.   
The mid-century aesthetic challenged this formality. Mid-century design is about being off-center and less structured, but still balanced. 

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

  • Why asymmetry is a cornerstone of mid mod design. 
  • How balance can be more inviting than uniformity. 
  • Where symmetry makes sense.
