By the early 1960s, McIntosh began to move away from producing more traditional style dining and bedroom furniture towards making mid-century style furniture akin to the Danish Modern style. This move was lead by McIntosh design director Tom Robertson and Val Rossi, and lead the company into a period of prosperity. It was around this time that McIntosh stopped making bedroom furniture in order to focus production on its more popular dining room tables, chairs and sideboards, like the enduringly popular Dunvegan Sideboard.

By the late 1970s, tastes had changed and McIntosh’s popularity began to wane. By the early 2000’s the company had moved into the educational furniture industry; they continue to produce a wide range of school furniture under the name ESA McIntosh.

With the resurgence of interest in the mid-century modern style, many of McIntosh’s designs from the 1960s are once again highly sought after pieces of furniture.
