Summary:
Think plastic. Think inflatable PVC chairs and TV tables. It must be
the 1960s, when radical furniture designs "popped" next to new art,
traditional designs were recast with new materials, and the results
were often mixed in one room. One of the boldest decades of design in
the twentieth century, this a decade of contradictions in styles that
only Anne Bony could capture all in one book. Furniture and Interiors
of the 1960s pays homage to the vibrancy and buoyant energy of the
decade's design trends and influences in 300 key designs that attract
enormous interest and command unprecedented prices today. For the
first time, America was leading a design revolution with Wendell
Castle's Molar and Castle chairs, Estelle Lavergne's lucite furniture
and the experiments of Ray and Charles Eames. Warren Planter, Hans
Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Alexander Girard, and Robert Propst were
world-ranked designers who pioneered new directions in furnishings
and accessories that appeared in trendy homes and offices in Europe
and Asia.This book is a new and well-timed resource for any 1960s
enthusiast who seeks to recreate this innovative, and once again
extremely cool look in their own retro home.
