It is an amazing window to the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic.

What a talent!!! I am sure that one day he will be as well known as Picasso, Calder and Miro. I had no idea there were so many fans of his work.

But also kind of depressing. It's shame that the Eames' idea of 'The Best for the Most for the Least' has been utterly forgotten by Herman Miller as well as companies like Design (not) Within Reach. At least Ikea has embraced that idea but they're often dismissed by modern designers.Kimberly Lindbergshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605498572070631516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514658573723139183.post-51821098894134519892011-12-19T19:41:55.431-07:002011-12-19T19:41:55.431-07:00Thank goodness I saw your post, got it set to reco...Thank goodness I saw your post, got it set to record - thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480687040381870153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514658573723139183.post-77233684706561816662011-12-16T14:23:21.319-07:002011-12-16T14:23:21.319-07:00Just put it on my calendar!
