Definitely appreciate the effort, however "Mies" is pronounced with a long "i" and the "e" is silent and "Knoll" has a strong "K". Enjoyed the insights nevertheless - great work.
Yeah, not in all cases... I did not understand the pronounciation of the Finnish designers Eero Saarinen and Eero Aarnio at all, but I knew the chairs so...
One of the best museums I've ever been to was the Poltrona Frau museum in Italy. You could see history through changing furniture design, it was so fascinating!
When we talk about the modern interior, we should not forget Mr Ingvar Kamprad and his company, IKEA. It made many modern interior items accessible to large masses.
Yes, but unfortunately Ikea is becoming more and more "mainstream", apparently to sell to the broader market. I've also noticed that less and less of their once incredibly made products, have been cheapened up and are now being manufactured more in Asian countries and not Sweden, like they were to begin with.
I'm one of those who think that modernism definitely did humanity a favor. One of the things I like most about Mid-Century Modern is that it's a reflection of the philosophy of the time: the preference for practicality and functionality without losing sight of an elegant and light aesthetic that undoubtedly adapted much better to the lifestyle of twentieth century society. It's still a very current style. I have an Arco lamp from Barcelona Designs and I'm in love with its features. Great video!
God, non sponsored content is so refreshing. Awesome video, these are absolute classics. Barcelona Chair and Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman are my favorites.

I really love your videos and appreciate the time, effort and research needed to put these together. As for the humor, outtakes etc continue with it. It makes this channel unique and entertaining. Kudos to these young men.
Now you're talking! This is my jam. Love you guys! Now do a video on Mod. Fred Perry, Baracuta Harrington, Bass Weejuns, knit polos, Sta-Prest trousers, three-button suits cut just past the waist w/ narrow lapels, ticket pocket, side vents, usually in interesting colors or patterns.
Awesome!!! 👏🏻 I watch your channel just to see nice things, to educate myself and to relax and It always works!!! To see people talking about style, about beauty in lots of forms feeds one's soul! Even if I can't really use all your dressing information, being a woman, still makes me feel good watching you!!! Thank you!
what about: Arne Jacobsen "The EGG" (60s) and Gerrit Rietveld Red Blue and Yellow chair (10th) Charles Rennie Mackintosh the the Hillhouse Chair (10th) le Corbusier LC 4, (20s) Eilin Grey Round table (20s), all of which, are must have's in modern interior design, very eye catching, as stand alone, just like Charles Eames, and Mies van der Rohe
I have the Le Corbusier chaise lounge, Le Corbusier two-seater couch. Barcelona chair with Ottoman, Marcel Bruer Wassily chair, and an Eileen Gray end table.
I am a little disappointed you did a whole video on modern design, and not even mentioning Danish design, it was huge during that era, and a lot of high-quality timeless pieces came from it.
This is the first time I stumble upon this channel, and I’m in love, literally. I need more of this in my life and i need Preston in my life, i need that man to be my man 🥰
As for me, Scandinavian modernist designs are the more elegant due to it's more warm, human-like appearance and shapes in contrast the cold European tube-syndrome (probably triggered some gentlemen) designs. One of my favorite designers like Alvar Aalto and Hans Wegner, especially Wegner, treat wood with enormous respect and let it show it's great qualities, what I really admire. Aalto, as a good example, has made beautiful shapes but also used always birch wood as it grows like mushrooms out of the ground in Scandinavia, which is more cost-effective but also much eco-friendlier then the expensive (and often endangered) exotic woods and steel used in works of the typical European cannon. Yes, I like wood more then metal but still have respect for the (social-minded) mid- and post war European modernist way of thinking and aesthetics. Ater all you've done a great job, as always, and mentioning the top icons is totally fine and not a mistake for sure, but still, it would be just a bit more professional to mention also the more 'unknown' (or at least overlooked by the majority) design pieces. Once more, great respect for you and your efforts and keep the gentleman subjects coming!
This is my style. Although I didn't hear the words Art Deco once. In my house, I have: Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge Le Corbusier two-seater couch Marcel Bruer Wassily chair Barcelona chair with Ottoman
Yes I like the Eames lounge chair... Or a similar design with easy to clean leather. But you only want 1 because a standard sofa or couch is better for reclining, and can seat 3 if needed. It would be nice if the footstool had adjustable height. I like somewhat masculine decor. Luxury Decor gives me the stressed feeling of: "Gee, I hope I don't break something."
I have no regrets about the re-production Eames I bought a while back. The finish and construction are very good as is the quality of the materials. That said good reproductions still run a few thousand dollars.
Perfect timing. I sub'd. I'm in the beginning process of completely changing my apartment furniture..look & style. Actually, the sooner the better. I appreciate the style & decor advice.
You're a brilliant person, Preston, and, an influence on my own style choices. But, please, note that the English word "often" contains a silent "t". We shouldn't say Off-Ten as often/"offen" any more than we would say sof-ten as the English word soften/"soffen".
Modern now is vintage but seems suitable for the clean modern cut suit. The style that seems more fitting for GG more 30-50's style would seem to be more a 50s vintage. Well done video, a ton of history and sources. Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed Preston.
Good video. Nice intro for those not too familiar with design (which I'm betting is most guys). One pet peeve, though. The bar cart with the lamp (13:06) has the lamp's power cord just hanging out in space, flapping in the breeze. Not a good look. (in the computer/electronics/gadget age it's unfortunately quite common.) It doesn't take much effort to run the cord down the leg of the cart and make it much less visible.
While I'm not a fan of Modern styling generally, I am all on board for more houseplants. 😁 Pothos, aka "devil's ivy," is another great low-maintenance plant that trails attractively. I also like the "UFO plant," which has a unique leaf shape very appropriate to the mid century modern aesthetic.
Interior design is cool and all but quality furniture is very expensive and if you get bored with a certain piece you can't just lock it up in a closet so it is best to stick to the classics. My favourite is 17th/18th century design .
AGREED! Neolithic Period furniture is By Farrrr my GO-To Faves. Classic, Timeless, Totally Unique in this day n age, & talk about Function OVER Form....wooF!
@@DiZzAstA Depends on the culture. I love the jars of Neolithic Jomon people in Japan, which are the first potteries in the history of mankind. But, if we are going to the ancient route, I think Bronze age China is still the best
What kind of 17th/18th century design, specifically? There's some variety in that range, from baroque to rococo and classicism (and of course the regular furniture normal people actually had). But mostly you find that in late 19th century or 20th century, factory-made revivalist versions, which can be a very different deal. I've found that sticking to more modern (namely jugendstil and functionalism) styles is much more practical, since there's actually stuff available for us non-millionaires who can't afford traveling after Christie's and Sotheby's.
A lot of people think that they can design their own homes and have them look and feel is usually not you want a practical and beautiful home, it's way better to hire professional interior designers like the ones at will always create functional and beautiful homes.
I was very surprised that none of the plant recommendations are available in the Gentleman's Shoppe at Fort Belvedere "available here" next to the boutonnieres!

Very nice! My wife and I are planning on doing some decorating very soon in this similar style! We really like Fraser and Mad Men so it rubs off.
I am a little disappointed you did a whole video on modern design, and not even mentioning Danish design, it was huge during that era, and a lot of high-quality timeless pieces came from it.
Agreed, Danish Modern was huge at the time, I remember seeing some of it as a hold-over when I was in primary school in the late seventies.
Learn from the master, Frasier Crane
No one mentiones marty's "barkalonger"!
Really was waiting for you guys to make one of these!! Thank you!

Some great pieces of furniture there (have to get a 'Mad Men style pop up bar for my office now), always enjoy Preston's work.

Thank you . Lovely. Can you please do a video on the history of the lamp on your bar cart . Thank you . I have a few of the lamps .
What a great video. It’s was informative, well presented and hilarious. Do more like this.

Thank you, Preston! You gave me interesting advice for new apartment
I own the Herman Miller Eames chair! Absolutely wonderful! Got the vegan leather version.
The Herman Miller licensed Eames Chair and ottoman is nearly $7000 USD now.
Congratulations, execelent !
Well, this is different! Enjoyed this! :)
I always enjoy the humor in the videos
I don’t want a sports car but one day I would love to have an Eames lounge chair.
I own two Knoll Barcelona chairs.. a Herman Miller Eames Lounge chair, two office managers chairs, and many other mid-century modern pieces..
Stick with timeless classics. You can't go wrong. Design Within Reach is a great source.
4:53 - Definitely have NEVER heard the 1980's described with the word "minimalism" before that's for sure!!
Great video...great tips and ideas here...also Preston's burnt orange sweater looks very nice...
Thanks & good job. Can you do a video on bigger items like housing and cars? How does one find & buy classic housing and transportation? 🤔😕😛
This guy is so proper, his collers are tucked inthe sweater.
Yes I like the Eames lounge chair...

I love our host's Down in the Park look.
He reminds me of Niles Crane from Frasier.
Great video and more of this type please!
This was like a video description of my home (though I have a lot of art on my walls). Great stuff.
Very informative!
I do prefer the styles in the earlier video however.

What a great and interesting and shall I say, aesthetically pleasing video!
Great video. Now I’ll pay closer attention to the modern furniture section at MoMA in NYC.
Do a video on the gilded age. Some of us like the "cluttered, over the top, dust collecting, eclecticism".
You're a brilliant person, Preston, and, an influence on my own style choices. But, please, note that the English word "often" contains a silent "t". We shouldn't say Off-Ten as often/"offen" any more than we would say sof-ten as the English word soften/"soffen".
