Besides “Modernism Magazine” and “Atomic Ranch”, CA modern is another rare magazine that specializes in Mid-century modern. It is published four times each year by the Eichler Network. Unfortunately the magazine is quite thin with less pages compared to the others but nevertheless it still has high quality content and is a great resources for MCM lovers.

‘Its content is aimed at mid-century modern homeowners and enthusiasts throughout California, with an emphasis on Eichler homes, Streng homes, Cliff May Ranchos, and Palmer & Krisel homes. Its content focuses on home maintenance features, solutions, and furnishings for modern homes; profiles on special California neighborhoods; breaking news; and much more.’

I finally got a chance to get the book of my favorite Swedish ceramic artist Lisa Larson. She’s been creating new ceramic work in her daily life for almost 25 years even today at the age of 77.

The book introduces not only just her ceramic works but also her life style with beautiful photos including herself, her house, and her studio in 160 pages!

It’s a great collection of her work in one book and I believe those who aren’t familiar with Lisa Larson will also be inspired.

Found these cute little books on sale at Etsy.  Lots of the work are reminiscent of Charley Harper but are still in good condition even though they are from that time period. If only I had a kid.

I recently received the latest free catalogue from House Industories that features the typeface called Eames Century Modern.

Eames Century Modern is their original typeface that has an 18-Style text family with italics. It honors the Eames aesthetic while offering unprecedented functionality. As far as I can see in the prints, the fonts definitely capture essence of the Eames’s classic and modern style.

Ardewerk en Zo is a furniture store located in a small village in the northern part of The Netherlands. They specialize in Royal System wall units designed by Poul Cadovius. I was looking at their flickr pages where they have stunning collections and found these cute ads featuring the wall unit.

There was a wall unit from an online ad that seems like it was from this brand because the design and layouts were very similar. Someone already beat me to it, but I’m hoping that they will decline so that I may have a shot at it. I’m going to cross my fingers.
