This thread is making me nostalgic...... I grew up in an apartment with
a Noguchi coffee table and Herman Miller furniture..... then when I
moved to Connecticut later my best friends worked for Knoll Int'. They
gave me a Wassily chair and their place was full of the real mid century
masters' furniture.
