An East Bay Eichler Offers Midcentury Living For Under $1.2M
California indoor/outdoor living can be yours in this lovely, Anshen & Allen-designed Eichler.

Frederick Arndt Artworks Mid-Century Modern Block Trivet
A trivet that's hard to cover up. Trivets are a necessity, but there's no reason to keep them boring. Try one out with sharp, clean classic lines -- and the variation in the wood grain pattern adds a distinct character to each piece. Bonus: it doubles as an art piece when it's not in use.

ShopKnoll Womb Chair and Ottoman
When Florence Knoll challenged Eero Saarinen to create a chair that she could curl up in, she found the right candidate for the task. The Womb Chair and Ottoman (1946) feature enveloping forms that continue as one of the most iconic representations of midcentury organic modernism. Applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell created a single-piece form that perfectly facilitates a relaxed posture. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
ShopThe kitchen opens to the dining area, rear garden, and atrium.
