PS Modcom's Modernism 101 Series • Modern Glamour: When Modernism Met Hollywood Regency

Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency may seem like complete opposites. One embraces clean lines and simplicity; the other celebrates glamour, drama, and luxurious details. But are they really so different?

Join author, historian, and preservation consultant Steven Price as he explores the surprising relationship between these two iconic design styles. Discover how they influenced one another during the 1950s and '60s, why both enjoyed a major revival decades later, and how their combined influence can still be seen today in architecture, interior design, hotels, furniture, and home décor. Along the way, Price will introduce the architects and designers who shaped these movements and reveal the unexpected connections between them. Whether you're a devoted Mid-Century Modern enthusiast or simply curious about the glamorous world of Hollywood Regency, this entertaining presentation will change the way you look at two of the most influential design styles of the twentieth century.
