Eventually Everything Connects: Mid-Century Modern Design in the US (Phaidon, 2025) tells the joyful, unexpected journey of American mid-century modernism through hundreds of photographs, drawings, and ephemera assembled by the art museum at Cranbrook – the very place where the movement was born. The book spotlights women and designers of color who helped shape the era – Joel Robinson, Ray Komai, Ruth Adler Schnee, Olga Lee, Miller Yee Fong, Lucia DeRespinis, and Dorothy Liebes – alongside Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, and Eero Saarinen. The result is a revealing new look at one of design history's most cherished and influential movements.
