So, maybe you’ve heard … the design genre dubbed Mid-Century Modern is popular right now. Of course, the craze for all things Eames, Saarinen and Noguchi has inspired a lot of, let’s just say, unfortunate knock-offs. Those seeking a heady mix of provenance and authenticity should head to Freeman’s this Saturday for the 20th/21st Century Design auction.

There’s a treasure chest of furniture for sale, including a coffee table by Wharton Esherick, chairs from Ron Arad and Harry Bertoia, and several white oak pews that George Nakashima designed for a New Hope church in 1961. Paddle, please!
