- "Campesina Tapestry" Woven Hanging, 1969 - Evelyn Ackerman's work epitomizes the handcrafted modernism of postwar California design.

The "Campesina Tapestry" became one of the company's best-selling products.

- Kenmore Electric Rotary Sewing Machine, 1950-1955 - This 1950s sewing machine has a minimal, modular look that shows a lightness of touch in its simple intersecting shapes. It is blatantly modern and is admirable for its lack of style -- which becomes style in itself. Well-articulated and neatly interlocked, it utterly escapes the trappings of earlier sewing machine designs.

- Predicta Television Receiver, 1958-1960 - Mid-twentieth century home entertainment technology -- radios, stereos, televisions -- tended to be hidden by furniture casework. They were furniture pieces. Not so with this Philco Predicta from 1958; it reveled in its technology. The tube sits exposed and perched on its stand -- bound by no casework.
