Decorative Art 60s Details
Dive into the vibrant world of 1960s design with this essential visual archive. Decorative Art 1960s captures the decade's revolutionary spirit—from Pop Art's bold graphics to psychedelic patterns and futuristic forms. Sourced from the legendary Decorative Art, The Studio Yearbook (published 1906–1980), this curated collection showcases iconic interiors, lighting, textiles, furniture, and ceramics that defined an era of liberation and boundless creativity. Featuring work by design legends like Verner Panton, Ettore Sottsass, and others, this volume documents how designers responded to social upheaval, technological optimism, and the youth movement's demand for personal expression. Now a collector's treasure, this rare yearbook reveals how the 1960s transformed design from craft-focused tradition to bold, accessible innovation—where ethnic influences and pop iconography coexisted, and light became a tool for reimagining space. Perfect for design enthusiasts, historians, and collectors seeking authentic documentation of one of design's most transformative decades.
Hardcover. Multi-lingual edition (English, French, & German).
