Chic Today article - Mid-century Desert Hidaways
The article I wrote for British lifestyle magazine Chic Today has finally been published! It's called Mid Century Desert Hideaways and highlights two very impressive and stylish mid century hotels located in Palm Springs, California. You can read the full article and the rest of the magazine through the links below. Since this is the first time my work has been published in a magazine - I would very much like to hear your comments and thoughts!

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

Congrats Chris! Back in April when I went out to the Salton Sea, we stayed in Palm Desert at a nondescript Holiday Inn. A block away was the Palm Desert Lodge in perfect mid-century loveliness. My wife, daughter, and I went inside to get info so as to be able to stay there next time. Too bad! It was closing in a week to be bulldozed no doubt to build something new and nondescript. I am about to go down to the Salton Sea to do some documentary photography for the East Valley Historical Society which has successfully secured funding to restore the North Shore Yacht Club designed by Albert Frey and the plan is to take it back to its pop deluxe beginnings. Unfortunately, the equally cool mid-century North Shore Motel will be bulldozed.

for anyone that would like to know some more about the Frey building.
