20 hours ago by dc_hillier Sitting on the banks of the Fox River in Plano, Illinois is a home that has become an icon of American Modernism - the Farnsworth House. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Dr. Edith Farnsworth as a weekend getaway retreat the home was completed in 1951.

2 days ago by dc_hillier One of the more unusual home entertainment systems was the ‘Vario Center’. The system, supported on a swivel base, featured a four faceted head with a radio/receiver, a reel-to-reel tape deck, and a TV set on each face with a turntable on top. Speakers were external. Produced, mainly as showpiece, by Nordmrnde of Germany in 1969. Photos: Nordmende.eu #mcmdaily #nordmende #spaceage #vintageaudiogear #germany mcmdaily.com

18 hours ago by dc_hillier Shared from @annmarisauctions (lovely items - well worth following!) A simple but elegant table lamp (model 9205) designed by Paavo Tynell. Made from brass with a slat cane shade - with the finial serving as the power switch - it was produced by Taito Oy of Finland in the 1950’s. #mcmdaily #paavotynell #taitooy #finland mcmdaily.com
12 hours ago by dc_hillier Clairtone’s ‘G’ series was not just stereos, there was also the G-TV, shown here being promoted by hockey legend Maurice ‘Rocket’ Richard. With rosewood casing and a swivel base it was not only a good looking unit but was also one of the most advanced color TV’s available at the time. Unfortunately it was pricey and a market failure that would end up sinking the company. Introduced by Clairtone of Canada in 1967.
