Description

Tim Street-Porters masterfully vivid photographs and Michael Webbs elegant text weave together building, furniture, and landscape, evoking the natural beauty of the site, the airy purity of the house, and the exquisite quality of the legendary furniture and objects design by the most luminous figures of modernist design: Le Corbusier, Gerritt Rietveld, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouve, and others.

House owner Michael Boyd will contribute an essay What Modern Means to Me, on pleasures of the pursuit and the joy of finding legendary rarities.

Michael Webb began writing about architectural design in London in the 1960s and now does so in Los Angeles, working out of a classic Richard Neutra apartment that Charles and Ray Eames once called home. Tim Street-Porter is an award-winning photographer.
