This is a classic and rare chance to view an era that is still recognized as the peak period of 20th Century modern design viewed from the era itself rather than from a historical point-of-view. So much of the furniture see in this film by Herman Miller, Eames, Bertoia, Saarinen, etc., is still being manufactured and is still great furniture, not only because of how it looks but because it was designed for maximum comfort.
