The living room, dining area and kitchen all blend together, in an artists' loft-style one-big-room / room without walls design that was popular in mid-century modern architecture. One solution: create small groupings of furniture within the larger space. An original Wassily chair (designed by Marcel Breuer) and Barcelona chair (designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe) and an Eames tulip table make an intimate setting next to the fireplace. Hanging on the fireplace wall is a Mark Bennett print designed for Wirsching, who is a fan of the old TV series, I Dream of Jeannie. Bennett is a world-recognized contemporary artist who is a friend of Hoffman and Wirsching from L.A.
