Mid-Century Inspiration

The nostalgic yet modern, clean yet playful flavor of mid-century graphic design translates remarkably well to 21st-century sensibilities. From letterpress posters to illustrated stationery to hand-drawn branding, the sleek shapes and warm whimsy of the 1950s–1960s are being repurposed for a new era. Printing technology continues to evolve in the digital age, making graphic innovation even more widely available, allowing a seemingly infinite amount of ideas and art to be sent between cultures and individuals en masse.

This is the spirit behind the Envoie En Masse collection – six everyday greeting cards with French phrases: casual, playful, and unique, whether you send them to one special person in your life or several special people.

What makes the mid-century aesthetic so memorable, and so frequently revisited even today, is how this apparently “golden” age seemed to capture order and play: where the rational grid and delightful flourish shared the page in striking complement. For fans of this style, you might enjoy reading Tension of the Times – Order, Play and the Globalizing Stage of Mid-Century Graphic Design.
