Mid Century

MID-CENTURY MODERN TRIVET $45 – $100 Designed by Fredrick Arndt in eco-friendly American black walnut, this trivet is right up our ally. We love the variation in the wood grain pattern and the sleek and structured design. It's a perfect bit of modernity for the table.

In Week 2 of American Dream Builders, Lukas was the team leader in charge of renovating a midcentury modern home in Palm Springs. Lukas divvies up assignments amongst his teammates, giving himself the living room and the outdoor dining area. While midcentury modern is not Machnik's forte, we see his potential as a designer and a team player, as he turns a neglected midcentury mess into a modern masterpiece.

Look behind the mid-century facade, and a back patio offers an unexpected 180-degree view of the Los Angeles basin.

Lange’s predilection for vintage design punctuates the space. The office level includes a cozy guest room with a midcentury Heywood Wakefield-esque dresser serving as a bedside table.

The view as it appears today.
