Scope and content
The 1954 Tacoma Home Show featured many booths exhibiting the latest in furniture lines for the contemporary home. Architects K. Walter Johnson and John V. Austin also owned North West Contemporary in Lakewood, a furniture dealership, whose display of stark, modernistic furniture is shown in this May, 1954, photograph. The curve of the round coffee table is matched by the rattan clam-style chair, partially hidden chair with curved back and squat lampshade.
