LiveModern - one less mid-century modern residence If you live in Austin and happen to note that a modern residence that you admire is empty or for sale- I suggest you monitor closely (every other DAY) what is happening with the property- as only the immediate neighbors within 300 feet are supposed to be notified when a demo permit is being issued. I've been working on creating a list of current available modern homes for sale. Italianate bastardizations favored by the architecturally illiterate -- sorry stick-built things that will be lucky to survive a century and are as generic as they are obtrusive. www.livemodern.com /forums/geographic/austin/304676883002?b_start:int=0   (2055 words)

Other icons of the era include Eero Saarinen's Womb Chair, a modern take on the winged-back chair (still in production by Knoll); sculptor Harry Bertoia's Wire Chair (his only foray into furniture); and Isamu Noguchi's IN-50 coffee table, with its shaped glass top and wooden legs. www.1earth.com.au /collect/furniture_1950.html   (1063 words)
