On the cover of Playboy in 1961: Modern Classics with their designs. Nelson, Wormley, Saarinen, Bertoia, Eames, Risom.
My 2nd thought when seeing this “Playboy??” Thought I read that wrong. But I didn’t. Apparently Playboy featured architecture and design quite often. Read about it http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671824/how-playboy-magazine-helped-make-eames-and-mies-famous
Cool, but Where is Ray?? Who is Charles without her? hmm.

This could be my favourite Greek drinking vessel ever!
Rhyton (Drinking Vessel) in the Shape of a Donkey Head
c. 460 BC
Greek, Attica
This drinking cup could not have been set down without its contents spilling. It is fashioned after the head of a bridled donkey with a white muzzle, teeth, and ears. Like the naked satyr chasing a fleeing maenad on the vessel’s neck, the donkey belongs to the retinue of the wine god Dionysos. Douris, one of the great Athenian vase painters of first half of the fifth century B.C., decorated this amusing cup.
