Palm Springs Modern Committee

The Palm Springs Modern Committee invites you to our Annual Membership Party! Step into a reimagined 1980s contemporary home in Andreas Hills, now transported light years beyond its origins. Inspired by science, art, and space exploration, this visionary renovation blends expansive views of Mount San Jacinto with a striking modern interior designed by architect Stanley Anderson.

Creative living spaces, celestial lighting, metallic finishes, and subtle sci-fi references create a futuristic yet inviting atmosphere. From a Starship Enterprise inspired corridor and movie theatre, to curated art and fossils, every detail connects the past and the future.

Join us for a fun party of design, discovery, and celebration.

Saturday, May 30, 2026
5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$75 per person

In 2021 and 2022, The Modern Chair was presented by the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center. The exhibition showcased more than 50 works, following the evolution and progression of the modern chair, spanning the period from the dawn of the 20th Century through the mid-century years and concluding with contemporary specimens.

Curated by and Rochelle Steiner, the exhibition drew a wide audience as documented in an accompanying catalogue, published by the and authored by Brad Dunning.

In response to continued interest, the museum has reprinted a second edition and has announced the permanent display of a rotating selection of works from the exhibition in a new seating lounge, opening in the former director’s lounge of the historic former Santa Fe Federal Savings and Loan building.

During Modernism Week, Design Within Reach, a Palm Springs Modern Committee sponsor, celebrated the catalog’s release during a reception at its downtown Palm Springs store. The store displayed an artful selection of modern chairs and gifted guests with a copy of the catalog.

The Modern Chair catalog is available and at the shop (link in stories).
