If you love a good Tom Collins cocktail, appreciate sleek white houses with glass walls and butterfly rooflines, ooh and aah about wire Bertoia chairs and enjoy listening to Dean Martin, well, have we got a party for you.
Next month, thousands of acolytes of modern design will descend on the desert town of Palm Springs in California for a nine-day festival of architecture and culture.
Modernism Week is a showcase of Palm Springs' world-renowned mid-century modern design. The design-fest, now in its sixth year, will include architecture tours, films, lectures and some very martini-charged parties in several of the city's most famous mid-century modern homes.
Mid-century modernism is a worldwide style, but it really found its home on America's west coast and Palm Springs, in particular, where architects - drawing on the Bauhaus movement and International style - created a less politicised, more optimistic style of modern architecture than found in war-torn Europe.
Although there is no such thing as a typical mid-century modern house, all share an emphasis on light, openness and honesty of materials. The use of reinforced concrete and steel frames allowed for flexible interior walls and large expanses of glass.
In places such as Palm Springs, where the climate is benevolent, the distinction is often blurred between inside/outside living, with rooms flowing out to baize green lawns and turquoise swimming pools.
