"THE TOY" BY RAY AND CHARLES EAMES
In 1951 Ray and Charles Eames created "The Toy" for Sears, Roebuck and Co. Various colored panels and dowels allowed children to construct playhouses, tents, and imaginative structures. A smaller scaled version was produced in 1952 and sold in a hexagonal tube. Source: 1
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: GEORGIA O'KEEFFE
Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in Abiquiu is a beautiful blend of modernism and postmodernism. The property was built in 1796 by the Catholic Diocese. When O'Keeffe purchased the home in 1945, she kept the original structure in tact and added only a few elements of modern convenience. O'Keeffe used furniture sparsely, favoring pieces by Herman Miller, Eero Saarinen, and Charles Eames. Sources: 1, 2, 3
