French open plan modernist living room interior decorated in earth tones with modular seating, built-in cabinetry, and a central fireplace. The photo is from 1971, but the space was designed in 1968 and features Poul Kjaerholm PK22 chairs and an Eero Saarinen Tulip Armchair. The prominent arched floor lamp is the iconic Arco model by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos.

Gino Sarfatti created two versions; the table lamp Arteluce model no. 604 and the pendant lamp Arteluce model no. 2130. The space age lamp consists of painted perforated metal with a translucent perspex dome over a scattering of micro-bulbs that look like lunar craters illuminated by stars.

Noland made his first completely individual statement when he "discovered the center of the canvas."

Just a year ago we introduced designer Lester Walker to these pages with plans for one of his Living Machines-a convertible couch-bed-table which he called Turniture. When we wanted a multipurpose unit for outdoor use, we asked Walker to design and build Turniture II-and he came up with this delightful piece that serves all the patio functions shown. It's easily made from MDO (medium-density overlay) ply wood, assembled with two-by-two cleats and 30 wingnut/bolt/washer sets. It knocks down for flat winter storage or transport in a station wagon. Close ends of crawl-through tunnel (center photo, below) and it becomes a roofed playpen for a toddler.
