George Nelson, Edward Wormley, Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Charles Eames and Jens Risom Playboy Magazine, July 1961.
For fans of Mid-Century modern design, this classic image above from Playboy, July 1961 is like the Holy Grail. Design masters & fellow peers in their prime, beautifully captured in a time that was aesthetically crisp, uncluttered and innovative.

Of course, Ray Eames should have been there too. But of course, this was Playboy and 1961.

I was in the Engadine region few weeks ago and in every bar they had beautiful chairs and table in aluminium frame and colored wood, old and new, simple and beautiful.
Anybody know where I can find them bith in Switzerland and USA?
