We told you guys it was coming, and here it is! These are raw, iPhone pictures of Paradigm Gallery’s feature in the September 2009 issue of Playboy with Heidi Montag of MTV’s “The Hills” fame on the cover. The story features our Eero Aarnio Ball Chair reproduction and the Eames La Chaise reproduction. The story, “Lounge Acts”, as written by Scott Alexander, makes the point we’ve been preaching for years: when you’re budget is limited, your ambition and desires don’t need to be. Modern classic designs are available at many price points, and high quality reproductions from Paradigm Gallery are a great way to get the look, for less.

Julius Shulman, the legendary photographer for homes and buildings during the mid-century modern movements has died. Shulman died Wednesday night. Shulman was 98.

According to the LA TImes, “Shulman had been in declining health, and died at his home in Los Angeles, according to Craig Krull, who represented him.”

Coming out blazing in 1936, Shulman started with Richard Neutra and his other clients included a “Who’s Who” in contemporary architecture: Rudolf M. Schindler, Gregory Ain, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles Eames, Raphael S. Soriano, John Lautner, Eero Saarinen, Albert Frey, Pierre Koenig, Harwell Harris, and a ton of others. As a testament to his importance in the modern movements, his work can be found in virtually even book published on Modern architects.
