There's a lot of new research coming out that points a finger at one of the most dangerous, damaging, unhealthy things that none of us ever thought twice about doing: sitting. It turns out, that "sedentary" doesn't just mean couch potatoes anymore.

Mid century modern furniture is usually paired either with a very retro style or an incredibly modern one; by and large, there isn't much middle ground between dark-wood-and-gem-tones and stark-lines-and-cool-colors.
