Harry Seidler | Australian Modernism
A brief piece on Harry Seidler’s 1950s houses in Wahroonga. Originally aired on ABC TV’s “Collectors” program.
Although I was not familiar with the architect, Harry Seidler, I was delighted to see familiar furnishings by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and other mid 1950’s gems. Since watching the video and going through the 38 page pdf I found, I am awed by his history, his education, his colleagues, his work and his entire life.

I was also struck by how many of the people and places in his career were familiar to me. I felt as if I were seeing a ghost or reading about a long, lost relative.
