So when it comes to mid-century modern and contemporary design, there's a lot of really cool furniture, and it's not as much made of materials like mahogany and oak that used to be popular. In the '50s, '60s to now, they use interesting materials, one of which I'm going to show you today. So over here we have a chair by Ron Arad. It's a very cool-looking rocking chair, and the material on this is basically plastic. This chair can go for over $3,000 on the retail market, and it's really cool looking. Not the most comfortable, but if you want to make a room look awesome, this chair can help you do it. Please subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.
