So chic-Palm Springs Modernism Week

Modernism Week is an 11-day mélange of mid-century modern design, architecture and culture.  What better place to have such a week but in Mid-Century Modern refuge, Palm Springs, where you find clean simple lines from the 40’s, 50s and 60’s defining Desert Modernism. Events include architectural tours, films, lectures, symposiums, educational events and parties in Mid-Century Modern homes and boutique hotels. In case you’ve been living in a cave, Palm Springs has hosted homes to Liberace, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Cary Grant and so many more who epitomize the definition of cool. OK, so Liberace may not be “cool” but you cannot deny his legend. For your eye’s, here is a collection of imagery by legendary architectural photographer, Julius Schulman, along with a couple other goodies including an image of the Frey House by Shel Mosk. All the info on Modernism Week can be found here.
