Mid-century Modern Newsletter

Fitzpatrick—In case you’ve been stuck under the Tuscan sun, mid-century modern style has experienced a steady revival in interiors and architecture in urban areas since the late 90’s. It's now reaching the provinces, such as our fair city. An excellent source for the history and elements of this aesthetic is the weekly e-mail newsletter from DWR(Design Within Reach), a catalog of in-stock modern furniture.

Even if you're not a fan of the period, the well-written articles on urban design, philosophy, architecture and the man-made environment will inspire thought. It’s free at http://www.dwr.com/.

I’m not about to admit how many of their pieces I covet, not to mention the ones I own.
