Opposing styles in 1960s design
Published annually from 1906 until 1980, Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook was dedicated to the latest currents in architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, glassware, textiles, metalware, and ceramics. Since the publications went out of print, the now hard-to-find yearbooks have become highly prized by collectors and dealers.
Decorative Art 1960s looks at the birth of pop in a decade of unprecedented social, sexual, and political change. All the restless energies bubbling throughout the world during the 1960s made their way into the design style of the decade. Liberation was in the air, men were rushing to the moon, and the sky was the limit as far as visual creativity was concerned.
The concept of lifestyle really came into its own, and although the early years of the decade still saw a rivalry between the well-crafted object and the industrially manufactured, by its end both ethnic and pop iconography had gained equal foothold in the aesthetic. Light was also predominant in shaping interiors. Freedom of choice and personal expression were the buzzwords for the young consumer, and so the likes of Panton, Sottsass, Paolozzi, Parisi, Sarpaneva, and Lomazzi did what they could to oblige.

Дизайн, попросту говоря, это решение проблем. А более конкретно – это междисциплинарный подход к решению тех проблем, которые отражают нужды и желания человечества. История дизайна – от доисторических каменных орудий до новейших цифровых гаджетов – это история человеческого новаторства и изобретательности, улучшающих качество нашей повседневной жизни.

В своей «Истории дизайна» ведущие эксперты Шарлотта и Питер Филл прослеживают эволюцию дизайна, раскрывая жизненную важность этой уникальной и повсеместной творческой деятельности и, что очень важно, ее будущей роли в обществе.

Прекрасно иллюстрированная, «История дизайна» – первый всесторонний обзор удивительной, многогранной истории дизайна от древнейших времен вплоть до сегодняшних дней. Эта книга необходима каждому, кто интересуется дизайном, его историей и его будущим.

Design, simply put, is problem-solving. More specifically, it is a multi-disciplined approach to resolving those problems that has reflected mankind’s needs and desires. From prehistoric stone tools to the latest digital gadgets, the history of design is the history of human innovation and resourcefulness improving our everyday lives.

In The Story of Design leading design historians Charlotte and Peter Fiell trace the evolution of design, revealing the real world importance of this unique and ubiquitous creative activity and — crucially — its future role in society. Beautifully illustrated, The Story of Design is the first ever comprehensive account of the fascinating, multi stranded story of design, from its earliest beginnings right up to the present day. It is essential reading for anyone interested in design, its history and its future.

Founded in 1928 as a “living diary” by the great Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti, domus has been hailed as the world’s most influential architecture and design journal. With style and rigor, it has reported on the major themes and stylistic movements in industrial, interior, product, and structural design.



This fresh reprint of the 1970s domus coverage brings together the most important features from an era marking seismic changes in architecture and design. It was a time when individualism gained momentum as a novel style, and we began to notice the first postmodernist tendencies. Faced with the global energy crisis, architects and designers imbued their methods with a new ecological awareness.


For work to be featured in the magazine it had to offer function, spatial clarity, intellectual persuasion, relevant originality, and/or grace. Those groundbreaking projects and practitioners that made the cut include Shiro Kuramata, Verner Panton, Joe Colombo, Richard Meier, the modernist structures by Foster Associates and the Centre Georges Pompidou by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers.

Taschen's Decorative Art 50s explores the spirit of optimism and the fervent consumerism of the decade. Technology and construction had been enervated by research during the war and these discoveries could now be applied in peacetime. The popularization of plastics, fiberglass, and latex literally shaped the decade. Rising incomes and postwar rebuilding on bother sides of the Atlantic led to a massive housing boom in both the suburbs and inner cities, and these new homes reflected the new style. While European design was extraordinarily inventive, American design was looking to an idealized vision of the future - between them a modern idiom was developed that can be seen vividly on these pages. This overview of the decade includes the work of such famous innovators as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner, and Gio Ponti.

More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era.
From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant garde armchairs.
The book, a slightly abbreviated version of our classic title 1000 Chairs, devotes one page to each chair, displayed on its own as pure form, with biographical and historical information about the chairs and their designers. A special treat for anyone who loves design and a must for collectors.
