The Design Issue!
Open your copy of the annual Design Issue to explore the variety that MCM design has to offer, from perfectly preserved gems to thoughtful MCM renovations for today's living. You'll find houses from Robert Rummer and Charles Du Bois, an Aaron Green home custom-built by Joseph Eichler and even a mid century hotel renovation from Paul R. Williams. We're also taking the opportunity to celebrate Mid Century Modern icons: Russel Wright, Verner Panton, Charlotte Perriand, Isamu Kenmochi, Sergio Rodrigues and Finn Juhl. We also meet the makers of today, our generation of icons who will carry the torch of MCM tradition into the future.
