Alexander House of Tomorrow in Palm Springs by William Krisel, 1962.

Room & Board is bringing Palm Springs to the East Coast. On April 21, the modern furniture purveyor on 14th Street is hosting a conversation and book signing with Heidi Creighton, author of William Krisel’s Palm Springs: The Language of Modernism, which will be available for purchase. Krisel is the living-legend architect who helped pioneer California mid-century modern architecture.

Hillary Kelly, Design Editor for Washingtonian magazine, will lead a lively conversation with Heidi about incorporating mid-century modern style into your home and the design influence from the Hollin Hills neighborhood, which is holding its home and garden tour on April 30.  Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while exploring the stores goods. The event runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Conversation begins at 7:15 p.m. You can RSVP here
