The Case Study program, in case it still needs any introduction, was a pioneering effort sponsored by L.A.-based Arts & Architecture magazine and its ambitious editor, John Entenza, to develop new and unapologetically modernist prototypes for the postwar American house. — latimesblogs.latimes.com

Yeah I like the look too.
but lets face it. Case Study, mid-century, style is just another 'lifestyle choice' as the mags point out. This choice of aesthetics, derived and denuded from heroic modernism is without it's heroes, or manifestos or any of the now forgotten left-wing revolutionary agenda associated with the 'look'. Where is ABC when we need them?
The case study STYLE too me is a too cool aesthetic, more like a fetish world, and works best as a stage-set for sexual fantasies or high-end porn. I thinks that's why black and leather are the dominant color and material for mid-c mod fashion and furniture. I could go on but you probably have your own 'picture' or 'film' already in your minds eye. ...I can see you are smiling ready...and ready for your close up
