MID-CENTURY MODERN EVENT TONIGHT

Spy Vibers in the San Francisco area should stop by Design Within Reach tonight for a talk and book signing by Heather David of Silicon Valley Modern.


Local author and design historian Heather David of Silicon Valley Modern will be talking about and showing examples of mid-century modern design and architecture in the Bay Area, dating from the '30s to the '70s, and signing copies of her new book, "Mid-Century by the Bay." The book portrays the Bay Area during its years of transition from the post WWII-era to an emerging center of technology, roughly 1945 to 1965. Light hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and other refreshments will be served. July 24th, 6-8pm.

Design Within Reach is located at 1913 Fillmore St (between Bush and Pine). Check out their main website for more information about sales, design contests, events, the DWR blog, and more. You can even pick up a Primary Pouf for as low as $149.50!
