Atomic Mid-Century Styling - Modern, Clean, and Curvy
I filtered my file archives for home decor items that seem a good fit for our Jetsons Muse. The boomerang table with Formica top, atomic sculpture and Eames coasters above seemed to me a perfect jumping off point.
Other things I was looking for was plastic, especially bright saturated color and shiny surfaces, clean lines, organic and geometric shapes, light on its feet, modern. Seemingly, most of the things that fit the retro-futuristic home of the Jetsons would be design with few sharp edges and little texture or pattern, and surfaces so smooth and plasticized you run them though a car wash and they would be good as new!
Note that we've 2 posts today, the fantastic LAX Theme Building follows...
Here's what I've found so far. Hope you enjoy!

| Yeah Baby! Mork would love this... |
 |
| Toothpaste chair seems like organic fun! |
 |
| Swing clock's very alien-esque |
 |
| Love Umbra's work- plastic, wow color, lighting all seem to rock the modern story |
 |
| Very Jetsons! |
 |
| Like the design, but needs to be in Lucite or bright plastic for this story... |
 |
| I don't know if the shag story works for Jetsons, but I like the color and the soft geometric shape |
 |
| Very space crafty, I would rather see in translucent color for our story |
 |
| Atomic clock is retro, but may not be futuristic enough |
 |
| Love the Googie organic sign shapes here- great muse for furniture! |
 |
| Calder mobiles are a great fit - retro and modern |
 |
| Vintage Atomic rocks! |
 |
| A little pedestrian, but the bullet lamp in bright blue works for this story |
 |
| Perhaps a little severe for the Jetsons muse, but softer edges in shiny B/W could work |
 |
| George Nelson clock is perfect. Lack of numbers seems more modern |
 |
| Very Atomic! |
 |
| Organic, colorful, shiny, modern |
 |
| Love the modern sectional. Elevated backs are clean, modern - not at all frumpy/lumpy |
 |
| Light on its feet, but I think we need a round or oval bed for our story... |
 |
| Perfect |
 |
| Spot on- retro 60s but contemporary technology and very futuristic |
 |
| Vintage aluminium shakers. Always loved colored aluminum cups growing up. Fun |
 |
| Nice atomic chairs but the table legs are a little heavy/clunky |
 |
| Sweet- light, colorful, translucent |
 |
| What holds this up? Modesty :) |
 |
| Organic with elevated back. More Memphis than Jetsons. I would remake in a single bright color or white for this week's muse |
 |
| The wood story doesn't work for me for Jetsons, but I LOVE the design. Very robotesque |
 |
| Concept table seems right on |
 |
| Love this! |
 |
| Recycled lamp parts on spaceship legs works |
 |
| A little dark for Jetsons, but mid-century modern vibe works |
 |
| Sonic chair is perfect! |
 |
| Eames Rocker seems like a great fit! Organic shape, plastic, on very light legs. Go Eames! |
