Cover Boys of Mid-Century Modern Design

From left to right: George Nelson, Edward Wormley, Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, Charles Eames, and Jens Risom.
Design Within Reach has republished a seminal photo from a 1961 issue of Playboy magazine. In DWR’s latest issue of Design Notes (a newsletter which I highly recommend) Jens Risom writes about the photo shoot and his regret that he didn’t get to know the other men that day as well as he would have liked. He did, however, know Mr. Eames well enough to call him “Charlie”.
Such a great photo. The Giants!
