Tips for the Modern Thanksgiving Table

The ne plus ultra of Thanksgiving-appropriate dining rooms is the one in Eero Saarinen's Miller House, designed by Alexander Girard. (Fun fact: The resident lady of the house had her church sewing circle embroider the Girard-designed, monogrammed needlepoint seat cushions!) A custom Saarinen-designed marble-and-terrazzo table is ringed by Tulip chairs; overhead is a Venini chandelier. Photo by Leslie Williamson.

Eero Saarinen’s legendary Miller House is not your average home, this modern gem was generously donated to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2011.
